383. The Lord Our Maker

1 All that I am I owe to Thee,
Thy wisdom, Lord, has fashioned me;
I give my Maker thankful praise,
Whose wondrous works my soul amaze.

2 Ere into being I was bro't,
Thy eye did see, and in Thy tho't
My life in all its perfect plan
Was ordered ere my days began.

3 Thy tho'ts, O God, how manifold,
More precious unto me than gold!
I muse on their infinity,
Awaking I am still with Thee.

4 The wicked Thou wilt surely slay,
From me let sinners turn away;
They speak against the Name divine;
I count God's enemies as mine.

5 Search me, O God, my heart discern,
Try me, my inmost tho't to learn;
And lead me, if in sin I stray,
To choose the everlasting way.
