THOU, Lord, by strictest search hast known
My rising up and lying down;
My secret thoughts are known to thee,
Known long before conceived by me.
My rising up and lying down;
My secret thoughts are known to thee,
Known long before conceived by me.
Surrounded by thy power I stand,
On every side I find thy hand:
Oh skill, for human reach too high.
Too dazzling bright for mortal eye!
On every side I find thy hand:
Oh skill, for human reach too high.
Too dazzling bright for mortal eye!
The veil of night is no disguise.
No screen from thy all-searching eyes;
Through midnight shades thou find'st thy way,
As in the blazing noon of day.
No screen from thy all-searching eyes;
Through midnight shades thou find'st thy way,
As in the blazing noon of day.
I'll praise thee, from whose hands I came,
A work of such a curious frame ;
The wonders thou in me hast shown,
My soul with grateful joy must own.
A work of such a curious frame ;
The wonders thou in me hast shown,
My soul with grateful joy must own.
Let me acknowledge too, God,
That, since this maze of life I trod,
Thy thoughts of love to me surmount
The power of numbers to recount.
That, since this maze of life I trod,
Thy thoughts of love to me surmount
The power of numbers to recount.
Search, try, God, my thoughts and heart,
If mischief lurks in any part ;
Correct me where I go astray.
And guide me in thy perfect way.
If mischief lurks in any part ;
Correct me where I go astray.
And guide me in thy perfect way.
