From heav'n the Lord with searching eye

Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #474 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God All-seeing Lyrics: 1 From heav'n the Lord with searching eye Looked down the sons of men to try, To see if any understood And sought for God, the only good. 2 From righteousness they all depart, Corrupt are all, and vile in heart; Yea, ev'ry man has evil done; Not one does good, not even one. 3 Has knowledge with the wicked failed, That they my people have assailed, That they delight in works of shame, And call not on Jehovah's Name? 4 Thy lowly servant they despise, Because he on the Lord relies; But they shall tremble yet in fear, For to the righteous God is near. 5 O that from Zion his abode Salvation were on us bestowed! When God his exiles shall restore, They shall in song his grace adore. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 14:2-7 Languages: English Tune Title: EISENACH

O may the hour that ends my sleep Still find my thoughts with thee! Scripture: Psalm 139:17-18 Languages: English

The All-Seing GOD

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #256 (1740) Topics: God All-seeing First Line: Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me thro' Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me thro'; Thine Eye commands with piercing View My rising and my resting Hours, My Heart and Flesh, with all their Pow'rs. 2 My Thoughts, before they are my own, Are to my GOD distinctly known; He knows the Words I mean to speak Ere from my op'ning Lips they break. 3 Within thy circling Pow'r I stand On every Side I find thy Hand; Awake, asleep, at home, abroad, I am surrounded still with GOD. 4 Amazing Knowledge, vast and great! What large Extent! What lofty Height! My Soul, with all the Pow'rs I boast! Is in the boundless Prospect lost. 5 O may these Thoughts possess my Breast, Where'er I rove, where'er I rest! Nor let my weaker Passions dare Consent to sin, for GOD is there. Pause I. 6 Could I so false, so faithless prove, To quit thy Service and thy Love, Where, Lord, could I thy Presence shun, Or from thy dreadful Glory run? 7 If up to Heav'n I take my Flight, 'Tis there thou dwell'st enthron'd in Light; Or dive to Hell, there Vengeance reigns, And Satan groans beneath thy Chains. 8 If, mounted on a Morning-Ray, I fly beyond the Western Sea, Thy swifter Hand would first arrive, And there arrest thy Fugitive. 9 Or should I try to shun thy Sight, Beneath the spreading Veil of Night, One Glance of thine, one piercing Ray, Would kindle Darkness into day. 10 O may these Thoughts possess my Breast, Where'er I rove, where'er I rest! Nor let my weaker Passions dare Consent to sin, for GOD is there. Pause II 11 The Veil of Night is no Disguise, No Screen from thy All-searching Eyes: Thy Hand can search thy Foes as soon Through Midnight Shades as blazing Noon. 12 Midnight and Noon in this agree, Great GOD, they're both alike to Thee: Not Death can hide what GOD will spy, And Hell lies naked to his Eye. 13 O may these Thoughts possess my Breast, Where'er I rove, where'er I rest! Nor let my weaker Passions dare Consent to sin, for GOD is there. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English

GOD is every where

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #259 (1740) Topics: God All-seeing First Line: In all my vast Concerns with Thee Lyrics: 1 In all my vast Concerns with Thee, In vain my Soul would try To shun thy Presence, Lord, or flee The Notice of thine Eye. 2 Thy all-surrounding Sight surveys My Rising and my Rest, My public Walks, my private Ways, And Secrets of my Breast. 3 My Thoughts lie open to the Lord Before they're form'd within; And e'er my Lips pronounce the Word He knows the Sense I mean. 4 O wond'rous Knowledge, deep and High! Where can a Creature hide? Within thy circling Arms I lye, Beset on ev'ry Side. 5 So let thy Grace surround me still, And like a Bulwark prove, To guard my Soul from ev'ry Ill, Secur'd by sov'reign Love. Pause 6 Lord, where shall guilty Souls retire, forgotten and unknown? In Hell they meet thy dreadful Fire, In Heav'n thy glorious Throne. 7 Should I suppress my vital Breath, To 'scape the Wrath Divine, Thy Voice would break the Bars of Death, And make the Grave resign. 8 If wing'd with Beams of Morning Light, I fly beyond the West, Thy Hand, which must support my Flight, Would soon betray my Rest. 9 If o'er my Sins I think to draw The Curtains of the Night, Those flaming Eyes that guard thy Law Would turn the Shades to Light. 10 The Beams of Noon, the Midnight Hour Are both alike to Thee; O may I ne'er provoke that Pow'r From which I cannot flee.

Great God, how infinite art Thou!

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #97 (1899) Topics: God All-seeing Lyrics: 1 Great God, how infinite art Thou! How frail and weak are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow And pay their praise to Thee. 2 Thy throne eternal ages stood, Ere earth or heaven was made; Thou art the ever-living God, Were all the nations dead. 3 Nature and time all open lie To Thine immense survey, From the formation of the sky To the last awful day. 4 Eternity, with all its years, Stands present to Thy view; To Thee there's nothing old appears, To Thee there's nothing new. 5 Our lives through various scenes are drawn, And vexed with trifling cares; While Thine eternal thought moves on Thine undisturbed affairs. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE
