To the chief Musicain, A Psalm of David

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 First Line: O Lord, thou dost me search and know Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou dost me search and know, Thou know'st my sitting down, 2 My rising up, my thought also To thee far off is known. 3 Thou fann'st my path and lying down, And all my ways kmow'st well. 4 For !o each word that's in my tongue, Lord, thou can'st fully tell. 5 Behind thou gird'st me, and before, On me dost lay thine hand 6 Such high and wond'rous skill is more Than I can comprehend. 7 Where shall I from thy spirit go? Or from thy face where fiy? 8 If heav'n I climb thou there? lo thou If down in hell I lie. 9 If morning wings I take, and dwell Where utmost sea-coasts be. 10 Ev'n there thy hand conduct me shall, And thy right hand hold me. 11 Yea darkness sure shall cover me, If that I thus shall say: Then shall the night about me be Like to the lightsome day. 12 Yea darkness darkneth not from thee, But like the day shines night: Alike unto thee both these be, The darkness and the light. [2] 13 For thou my reins possessed hast, And also cover'd me, Within my mother's womb thou hast. 14 My praise shall be of thee; Because that 1 am fashion'd thus In fearful wond'rous wise; And that thy works are marvellous, My soul right well descries. 15 From thee my substance was not hid, When closely made was I; And when that I was fashioned In earth's deeps curiously. 16 Thine eyes did on my substance look, When yet I wanted frame: And all my members in thy book Were written down by name. Which day by day should fashion'd be, When none of them were come. 17 How precious are thy thoughts to me, God! how great's their sum? 18 If I of them account should take, More than the sands they be. And still when that I do awake, I present am with thee. [3] 19 O God, thou surely wilt them slay That wicked persons be; Depart therefore from hence away, Ye men of blood, from me. 20 Because that they against thee do Speak in mischievous wise. Thy name in vain they take also, Who are thine enemies. 21 Jehovah, hate I not the men That thee do hate? likewise Am I not sore aggriev'd with them That up against thee rise? 22 With perfect hate them hate do I, I take them for my foes. 23 Search me, O God, my heart descry, Try me, my thoughts disclose. 24 Behold in me if fhat there be Ev'n any wicked way; And in the way conduct thou me That doth endure for aye.

Praise for the Blessings of Providence and grace

Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 132 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 First Line: Almighty father, gracious Lord Lyrics: 1 Almighty father, gracious Lord, Kind guardian of my days, Thy mercies let my heart record In songs of grateful praise. 2 In life's first dawn, my tender frame Was thy indulgent care, Long ere I could pronounce thy name, Or breathe the infant prayer. 3 [Around my path what dangers rose! What snares spread all my road! No power could guard me from my foes, But my preserver, God. 4 How many blessings round me shone, Where'er I turn'd my eye! How many past almost unknown, Or unregarded, by!] 5 Each rolling year new favors brought From thy exhaustless store: But ah! in vain my laboring thought Would count thy mercies o'er. 6 While sweet reflection thro' my days Thy bounteous hand would trace: Still dearer blessings claim thy praise, The blessings of thy grace. 7 Yes, I adore thee, gracious Lord, For favors more divine: That I have known thy sacred word, Where all thy glories shine. 8 Lord, when this mortal frame decays, And every weakness dies, Complete the wonders of thy grace, And raise me to the skies. 9 Then shall my joyful powers unite In more exalted lays, And Join the happy sons of light In everlasting praise.

Lord, all I am is known to Thee!

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 Lord, all I am is known to Thee! In vain my soul would try To shun Thy presence, or to 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 formed within; And ere my lips pronounce the word, He knows the sense I mean. 4 O wondrous knowledge, deep and high! Where can a creature hide? Within Thy circling arms I lie, Beset on every side. 5 So let Thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove, To guard my soul from every ill, Secured by sovereign love.
