From heav'n the Lord with searching eye
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: God All-seeing Lyrics: 1 From heav'n the Lord with searching eye
Looked down the sons of men to try,
To see if any understood
And sought for God, the only good.
2 From righteousness they all depart,
Corrupt are all, and vile in heart;
Yea, ev'ry man has evil done;
Not one does good, not even one.
3 Has knowledge with the wicked failed,
That they my people have assailed,
That they delight in works of shame,
And call not on Jehovah's Name?
4 Thy lowly servant they despise,
Because he on the Lord relies;
But they shall tremble yet in fear,
For to the righteous God is near.
5 O that from Zion his abode
Salvation were on us bestowed!
When God his exiles shall restore,
They shall in song his grace adore.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 14:2-7 Used With Tune: EISENACH Text Sources: The Hymnal, 1912
From heav'n the Lord with searching eye
God is every where
Appears in 251 hymnals Topics: All-seeing God; All-seeing God First Line: In all my vast concerns with thee 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 ere my lips pronounce the word,
He knows the sense I mean.
4 Oh wondrous knowledge, deep and high;
Where can a creature hide?
Within thy circling arms I lie,
Enclos'd on every side.
5 So let thy grace surround me still,
And like a bulwark prove,
To guard my soul from every ill,
Secur'd by sovereign love.
Pause.
6 Lord, where shall guilty souls retire
Forgotten and unknown?
In hell they meet thy dreadful fire,
In heaven 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 moon, the midnight-hour
Are both alike to thee:
Oh may I ne’er provoke that power
From which I cannot flee. Scripture: Psalm 139

The Wisdom of God in the formation of Man
Appears in 53 hymnals Topics: All-seeing God; All-seeing God First Line: When I with pleasing wonder stand 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 every part;
Till the whole scheme thy thoughts had laid
Was copy'd by thy art.
4 Heaven, earth, and sea, and fire and wind
Shew me thy wondrous 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

Lord, all I am is known to Thee
My trust is in the Lord
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: God All-seeing Lyrics: 1 My trust is in the Lord:
How say ye then to me,
"Now like a bird from peril haste,
And to your mountain flee?"
2 Lo, sinners bend the bow
With arrow fixed for flight;
And stealthily in darkness go
The true in heart to smite.
3 What can the righteous do,
What can for them avail,
When all foundations are destroyed,
And all the pillars fail?
4 The Lord in Zion dwells,
The Lord is throned on high;
His eyes behold the sons of men
Their hearts and ways to try.
5 The Lord the righteous proves;
But those who scorn the right,
Who love deceit and violence
Are hateful in his sight.
6 For righteous is the Lord,
He loveth righteousness,
And with a gracious countenance
The upright he will bless.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 11:1-5 Used With Tune: AYLESBURY Text Sources: Compiled from several sources
My trust is in the Lord
Lord, when I count thy mercies o'er
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: All-seeing God; God All-seeing Lyrics:
Lord, when I count thy mercies o'er,
They strike me with surprise;
Not all the sands that spread the shore
To equal numbers rise.
My flesh with fear and wonder stands,
The product of thy skill;
And hourly blessings from thy hands
Thy thoughts of love reveal.
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
Lord, when I count thy mercies o'er
Psalm 139 Part 3
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: All-seeing God; God All-seeing First Line: My God, what inward grief I feel Lyrics:
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.
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.
Lord, search my soul, try every thought;
Though my own heart accuse me not
Of walking in a false disguise,
I beg the trial of thine eyes.
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
Psalm 139 Part 3
The All-Seing GOD
Appears in 327 hymnals Topics: God All-seeing First Line: Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me thro' Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me thro';
Thine Eye commands with piercing View
My rising and my resting Hours,
My Heart and Flesh, with all their Pow'rs.
2 My Thoughts, before they are my own,
Are to my GOD distinctly known;
He knows the Words I mean to speak
Ere from my op'ning Lips they break.
3 Within thy circling Pow'r I stand
On every Side I find thy Hand;
Awake, asleep, at home, abroad,
I am surrounded still with GOD.
4 Amazing Knowledge, vast and great!
What large Extent! What lofty Height!
My Soul, with all the Pow'rs I boast!
Is in the boundless Prospect lost.
5 O may these Thoughts possess my Breast,
Where'er I rove, where'er I rest!
Nor let my weaker Passions dare
Consent to sin, for GOD is there.
Pause I.
6 Could I so false, so faithless prove,
To quit thy Service and thy Love,
Where, Lord, could I thy Presence shun,
Or from thy dreadful Glory run?
7 If up to Heav'n I take my Flight,
'Tis there thou dwell'st enthron'd in Light;
Or dive to Hell, there Vengeance reigns,
And Satan groans beneath thy Chains.
8 If, mounted on a Morning-Ray,
I fly beyond the Western Sea,
Thy swifter Hand would first arrive,
And there arrest thy Fugitive.
9 Or should I try to shun thy Sight,
Beneath the spreading Veil of Night,
One Glance of thine, one piercing Ray,
Would kindle Darkness into day.
10 O may these Thoughts possess my Breast,
Where'er I rove, where'er I rest!
Nor let my weaker Passions dare
Consent to sin, for GOD is there.
Pause II
11 The Veil of Night is no Disguise,
No Screen from thy All-searching Eyes:
Thy Hand can search thy Foes as soon
Through Midnight Shades as blazing Noon.
12 Midnight and Noon in this agree,
Great GOD, they're both alike to Thee:
Not Death can hide what GOD will spy,
And Hell lies naked to his Eye.
13 O may these Thoughts possess my Breast,
Where'er I rove, where'er I rest!
Nor let my weaker Passions dare
Consent to sin, for GOD is there.
Scripture: Psalm 139
