far down the future's broad'ning way,
in peace that only thou canst give,
with thee, O Master, let me live.

And every thought of holiness,
Are His alone.

LORD, You Have Searched Me
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: God as Guide; God Omnipresence of; God Omniscience of; God As Searcher of Hearts; Preparatory Service; Preservation of Christians; Self-Examination First Line: LORD, you have searched me and you know Lyrics: 1 LORD, you have searched me and you know
where'er I rest, where'er I go;
you search my thoughts and know my plans,
and all my ways are in your hands.
2 My words from you I cannot hide,
you hem me in on ev'ry side;
O wond'rous knowledge, awesome might,
unfathomed depth, unmeasured height!
3 Where can I from your Spirit be?
Where can I from your presence flee?
In heav'n? it is your dwelling fair;
in death's abode? lo, you are there.
4 If I the wings of morning take,
and in the seas my dwelling make,
e'en there your faithful hand shall lead,
your right hand, LORD, is holding me.
5 If deepest darkness cover me,
to you the darkness light shall be;
if light about me be as night
to you both night and day are bright.
6 Within the womb you knitted me
so fearfully and wondrously;
I give my maker thankful praise,
whose wondrous works my soul amaze.
7 When in the depths my frame was wrought,
your eye did see, and in your thought
my life in all its perfect plan
was ordered ere my days began.
8 Your thoughts, O God, how manifold,
more precious unto me than gold!
They number more than all the sand;
awaking, still I'm in your hand.
9 Oh, that the wicked you would slay!
From men of blood I turn away;
they speak against the name divine,
I count God's enemies as mine.
10 Do I not hate your haters, LORD?
Those fighting you have I abhorred.
I hate them all most fervently
and count them as my enemies.
11 O search me, God, my heart discern,
and try me, God, my thoughts to learn;
and lead me, if in sin I stray,
to choose the everlasting way. Scripture: Psalm 139 Used With Tune: WOODWORTH Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912; alt.; mod.
