Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #57 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Majesty of God 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,
The secrets of my breast.
3 My thoughts lie open to Thee, Lord,
Before they’re form'd within;
And ere my lips pronounce the word,
Thou know'st the sense I mean.
4 Oh, wondrous 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,
Secured by sov'reign love. Languages: English
