O Lord, thou do'st me search, and know

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1. O Lord, thou do'st me search, and know, Whether I sit, or rise. 2. My thoughts, far distant from my Breast, Thy piercing Sight descries. 3. My Path, and Bed, thou do'st surround, And knowest all my Ways. 4. There's not a Word couch'd in my Tongue, But, Lord, thine Eye surveys. 5. Behind, before, thou hast beset, And on me laid thine Hand. 6. Such Knowledge is too wondrous high. For me to understand. 7. Where shall I from thy Spirit go? Or from thy Presence fly? 8. If Heav'n I climb, thou'rt there; lo there, If deep in Earth I ly. 9. If on the Morning Wings, I flee To utmost Bounds of Seas: 10. Thy Hand must first conduct me there, There would thy Right-hand seise. 11. Or should I think to hide, behind The Curtains of the Night; Ev'n Night itself would round me shine, As Noon Days strongest Light. 12. No Darkness can obscure thy Sight; Thus Day, and Night, agree; The darkest Night, and brightest Day, Are both alike to Thee. Second Part 13. My inmost Reins, which thou didst form, Are still possess'd by Thee; Thou, in the Womb, with tender Care, Did'st wrap, and cover me. 14. Thy Wonders, in my curious Frame, My Admiration raise; My Soul, thy marv'lous Works, knows well, And gives to Thee the Praise. 15. My Substance was not hid from Thee, Who me in Secret wrought; And, in the Depth of Earth, the Parts To closest Union brought. 16. Thine Eyes beheld my unformed Mass, The daily Growth it took; And all my Members yet unshap'd. Were entered in thy Book. 17. How precious are thy Thoughts to me! O God, how wondrous kind! From first, to last, how great's their Sum! No Power of mine can find. 18. Should I attempt to number them, They far surpass the Sand; Whene'er I wake, I'm still with Thee, Supported by thine Hand. Third Part 19. Surely the Men that wicked are, Thou wilt destroy, O God Therefore, from my Society, Depart, ye Men of Blood. 20. For their vile Tongues against Thee speak, And impiously proclaim; Thine Enemies, perfidious take In vain thy sacred Name. 21. Are not those Men, that hate Thee, Lord, Most hateful in mine Eyes? Is not mine Heart ev'n broke to see, Against Thee, how they rise? 22. Such Men, I utterly abhor, And number with my Foes. 23. Search me, and know my Heart; and all, My secret Thoughts disclose. 24. Discover ev'ry harbour'd Crime, That lurketh in my Breast; And lead me, all my future Days, The Way to endless Rest.

'Fore thee, O gracious God, I stand confest

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 'Fore thee, O gracious God, I stand confest; Thou view'st the inmost secrets of my breast; 2 Whate'er my heart conceives, my hands have done, Howe'er from man conceal'd, to thee is known: 3 My night's repose, the travail of my days, Thy wisdom searches, and thy eye surveys: 4 Nor from my tongue drops one unheeded word, But strait thou hear'st it, O omniscient Lord: 5 Whate'er I am, my frame, behind, before, Is all the bright exertion of thy pow'r. 6 Such knowledge far transcends the narrow bounds Of human lore, and all our pride confounds. 7 O how shall I thy awful presence shun? To what dark corner from thy spirit run? 8 If I ascend to yon celestial sphere, Lo! thou in dreadful majesty art there: To hell's drear shade if I direct my road, E'en there I find the omnipresent God. 9 Me with her roseate car if morn supply, And to the limits of the west I fly; 10 'Tis vain; still in thy presence I shall stand, Expos'd to all the thunder of thy hand. 11 Say, shall I hide me in the gloomy night? Alas! thy presence makes the darkness light; Thy presence drives the darkness far away; With thee there's no alternate night and day. 13 Thou form'st the close recesses of the mind, And in those close recesses thee I find: When a rude embryo in the womb I lay, Thou gav'st a cov'ring to my growing clay. 14 The perfect model of my frame displays Thy wond'rous wisdom, and extorts my praise; My mind runs o'er thy works with awe unfeign'd, And owns the pow'r she cannot comprehend: 15 Owns, when at first in secret I was made, Thine eye the gloomy dwelling did pervade; To forming nature was the certain guide, And o'er the curious texture did preside. 16 Thou knew'st me, Lord, while yet my limbs were nought, For in thy book my formless limbs were wrote; And, 'fore they were, thy wonder-working mind Their various pow'rs, their stated hours, design'd. 17 This when my soul revolves, in wild amaze She's lost, and can but offer up her praife; And vainly she attempts to number o'er The dread stupendous wonders of thy pow'r: 18 For with much greater ease I'd count the sand Which cast the flowing tides upon the strand, E'en tho' I mould eternal vigils keep, And ne'er indulge my eyes in balmy sleep. 19 O when wilt thou the impious race destroy, Whose thirst is blood, and homicide their joy; 20 Who with their villain-tongues thy works blaspheme, And, wanton in their guilt, profane thy name? 21 Say, are not they the objects of my hate, Who dare thy sacred statutes violate? Count I not them among my enemies, Who thee blaspheme, and thy dread pow'r despise? 22 Yes; sure I hate them, nor my friends shall be The impious crouds, who dare dishonour thee? 23 O search, all-clement God, my honest mind; Thou'lt still thy love my ruling passion find: 24 If with the wicked I thy laws contemn, Consign me to eternal woes with them; If with the righteous I thy laws obey, Guide me with them to everlafting day.
