Lord, Thou hast searched me, and dost know

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: God the Father His Abiding Presence; God Presence, His Abiding Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast searched me, and dost know Where'er I rest, where'er I go; Thou knowest all that I have planned, And all my ways are in Thy hand. 2 My words from Thee I cannot hide; I feel Thy power on every side; O wondrous knowledge, awesome might, Unfathomed depth, unmeasured height! 3 Where can I go apart from Thee, Or whither from Thy presence flee? In heaven? It is Thy dwelling fair; In death's abode? Lo, Thou art there. 4 If I the wings of morning take, And far away my dwelling make, The hand that leadeth me is Thine, And my support Thy power divine. 5 If deepest darkness cover me, The darkness hideth not from Thee; To Thee both night and day are bright, The darkness shineth as the light.
