Children of the heavenly King
Author: John Cennick, 1718-55 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,183 hymnals Topics: Infant Baptism Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly King,
As ye journey sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.
2 We are travelling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land:
Jesus Christ your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
4 Lift your eyes ye sons of light,
Sion's city is in sight;
There our endless home shall be,
There our Lord in glory see.

The all-seeing God
Appears in 326 hymnals Topics: Infants; Infants 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 powers.
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 opening lips they break.
3 Within thy circling power 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 powers I boast,
Is in the boundless prospect lost.
5 Oh may these thoughts possess my breast,
Where-e'er I rove, where-e'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 heaven 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 Oh may these thoughts possess my breast,
Where-e'er I rove, where-e'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 seize 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 Oh may these thoughts possess my breast,
Where-e'er I rove, where-e'er I rest!
Nor let my weaker passions dare
Consent to sin, for God is there.

God is every where
Appears in 251 hymnals Topics: Infants; Infants 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
God is every where

3 By thee my growing parts were nam'd,
And what thy sovereign counsels fram'd,
The breathing lungs, the beating heart,
Was copy'd with unerring art.

God stamp'd his Image on my frame,
And in some unknown moment join'd
The finish'd members of the mind.

And all the passions of the man,
Great God, our infant nature pays
Immortal tribute to thy praise.

I've acted on life's busy stage,

Though my own heart accuse me not,

I beg the trial of thine eyes.

Do I indulge some unknown sin?
Oh turn my feet whene'er I stray,
And lead me in thy perfect way. Scripture: Psalm 139
