My GOD, what inward Grief I feel
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P139c (1766) Topics: Examination, or Evidences of Graces Lyrics: 1 My GOD, what inward Grief I feel
When impious Men transgress thy Will!
I mourn to hear their Lips profane
Take thy tremendous Name in vain.
2 Does not my Soul detest and hate
The Sons of Malice and Deceit?
Those that oppose thy Laws and Thee,
I count them Enemies to me.
3 Lord, search my Soul, try ev'ry Thought;
Though my own Heart accuse me not
Of walking in a false Disguise,
I beg the Trial of thine Eyes.
4 Doth secret Mischief lurk within?
Do I indulge some unknown Sin?
O turn my Feet whene'er I stray,
And lead me in thy perfect Way.
Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English
My GOD, what inward Grief I feel
In all my vast Concerns with Thee
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P139d (1766) Topics: Examination, or Evidences of Graces 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 lie,
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. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English
In all my vast Concerns with Thee
When I with pleasing Wonder stand
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P139e (1766) Topics: Examination, or Evidences of Graces Lyrics: 1 When I with pleasing Wonder stand,
And all my Frame survey,
Lord, 'tis thy Work I own thy Hand
Thus built my humble Clay.
2 Thy Hand my Heart and Reins possest,
Where unborn Nature grew;
Thy Wisdom all my Features trac'd,
And all my Members drew.
3 Thine Eye with nicest Care survey'd
The Growth of ev'ry Part;
'Till the whole Scheme thy Thoughts had laid
Was copy'd by thy Art.
4 Heav'n, Earth, and Sea, and Fire and Wind,
Shew me thy wond'rous Skill;
But I review myself, and find
Diviner Wonders still.
5 Thy awful Glories round me shine,
My Flesh proclaims thy Praise;
Lord, to thy Works of Nature join
Thy Miracles of Grace. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English
When I with pleasing Wonder stand
Lord, when I count thy Mercies o'er
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P139f (1766) Topics: Examination, or Evidences of Graces Lyrics: 1 Lord, when I count thy Mercies o'er,
They strike me with Surprize;
Not all the Sands that spread the Shore
To equal Numbers rise.
2 My Flesh with Fear and Wonder stands,
The Product of thy Skill;
And hourly Blessings from thy Hands
Thy Thoughts of Love reveal.
3 These on my Heart by Night I keep;
How kind, how dear to me!
O may the Hour that ends my Sleep
Still find my Thoughts with Thee.
Scripture: Psalm 139:17-18 Languages: English
Lord, when I count thy Mercies o'er

O LORD, You See and Search My Life
LORD, You Have Searched Me
Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #139B (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: 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 Languages: English Tune Title: WOODWORTH
LORD, You Have Searched Me
Jehovah's Perfect Law
Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #151 (1990) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Self-Examination Lyrics: 1 Jehovah's perfect law restores the soul again;
his testimony sure gives wisdom unto men;
the precepts of the Lord are right,
and fill the heart with great delight.
2 The Lord's commands are pure, they light and joy restore;
Jehovah's fear is clean, enduring evermore;
his statutes, let the world confess,
are wholly truth and righteousness.
3 They are to be desired above the finest gold;
than honey from the comb more sweetness far they hold;
with warnings they your servant guard,
in keeping them is great reward.
4 His errors who can know? Cleanse me from hidden stain;
keep me from wilful sins, nor let them o'er me reign;
and then I upright shall appear
and be from great transgressions clear.
5 Whene'er you search my life, may all my thoughts within
and all the words I speak your full approval win.
O Lord, you are a Rock to me,
and my Redeemer you shall be.
Scripture: Psalm 1:1 Languages: English Tune Title: HUTCHBY
