Psalm 139 Part 3
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 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.

Psalm 139 Part 3
Sun of My soul, Thou Savior Dear
Author: John Keble Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,433 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:12 Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, thou Savior dear,
it is not night if thou be near;
O may no earth-born cloud arise
to hide thee from thy servant's eyes.
2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep
my weary eyelids gently steep,
be my last thought, how sweet to rest
For ever on my Savior's breast.
3 Abide with me from morn till eve,
for without thee I cannot live;
abide with me when night is nigh,
for without thee I dare not die.
4 If some poor wand'ring child of thine
have spurned today the voice divine,
now, Lord, the gracious work begin;
let him no more lie down in sin.
5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor
with blessings from thy boundless store;
be ev'ry mourner's sleep tonight,
like infant's slumbers, pure and light.
6 Come near and bless us when we wake,
ere through the world our way we take,
till in the ocean of thy love
we lose ourselves in heav'n above.

Savior, Again to Your Dear Name We Raise
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 850 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:12 Lyrics: 1 Savior, again to your dear name we raise
with one accord our parting hymn of praise.
We give you thanks before our worship cease,
and now departing, wait your word of peace.
2 Grant us your peace upon our homeward way;
with you began, with you shall end the day.
Guard now the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
that in this house have called upon your name.
3 Grant us your peace, Lord, through the coming night;
turn all our darkness to your perfect light.
Then, while we sleep, our hope and strength renew,
for dark and light are both alike to you.
4 Grant us your peace throughout our earthly life:
comfort in sorrow, courage in the strife.
Then, when your voice shall make our conflict cease,
call us, O Lord, to your eternal peace.

Fill with thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me.

Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I Go
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 345 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:1 Lyrics: 1 Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go,
my daily labor to pursue;
thee, only thee, resolv'd to know,
in all I think or speak or do.
2 The task thy wisdom hath assigned
O let me cheerfully fulfill;
in all my works thy presence find
and prove thy good and perfect will.
3 Preserve me from my calling's snare,
and hide my simple heart above.
Above the thorns of choking care,
the gilded baits of worldly love.
4 Thee I may I set at my right hand,
whose eyes my inmost substance see,
and labor on at thy command,
and offer all my works to thee.
5 Give me to bear thy easy yoke,
and ev'ry moment watch and pray;
and still to things eternal look,
and hasten to thy glorious day;
6 for thee delightfully employ
whate'er thy bounteous grace hath giv'n.
and run my course with even joy,
and closely walk with thee to heav'n.

Psalm 139: O Lord, thou hast me search'd and known
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 First Line: O Lord, thou hast me search'd and known Lyrics:
1O Lord, thou hast me search’d and known.
2Thou know’st my sitting down,
And rising up; yea, all my thoughts
afar to thee are known.
3My footsteps, and my lying down,
thou compassest always;
Thou also most entirely art
acquaint with all my ways.
4For in my tongue, before I speak,
not any word can be,
But altogether, lo, O Lord,
it is well known to thee.
5Behind, before, thou hast beset,
and laid on me thine hand.
6Such knowledge is too strange for me,
too high to understand.
7From thy Sp’rit whither shall I go?
or from thy presence fly?
8Ascend I heav’n, lo, thou art there;
there, if in hell I lie.
9Take I the morning wings, and dwell
in utmost parts of sea;
10Ev’n there, Lord, shall thy hand me lead,
thy right hand hold shall me.
11If I do say that darkness shall
me cover from thy sight,
Then surely shall the very night
about me be as light.
12Yea, darkness hideth not from thee,
but night doth shine as day:
To thee the darkness and the light
are both alike alway.
13For thou possessed hast my reins,
and thou hast cover’d me,
When I within my mother’s womb
inclosed was by thee.
14Thee will I praise; for fearfully
and strangely made I am;
Thy works are marv’llous, and right well
my soul doth know the same.
15My substance was not hid from thee,
when as in secret I
Was made; and in earth’s lowest parts
was wrought most curiously.
16Thine eyes my substance did behold,
yet being unperfect;
And in the volume of thy book
my members all were writ;
Which after in continuance
were fashion’d ev’ry one,
When as they yet all shapeless were,
and of them there was none.
17How precious also are thy thoughts,
O gracious God, to me!
And in their sum how passing great
and numberless they be!
18If I should count them, than the sand
they more in number be:
What time soever I awake,
I ever am with thee.
19Thou, Lord, wilt sure the wicked slay:
hence from me bloody men.
20Thy foes against thee loudly speak,
and take thy name in vain.
21Do not I hate all those, O Lord,
that hatred bear to thee?
With those that up against thee rise
can I but grieved be?
22With perfect hatred them I hate,
my foes I them do hold.
23Search me, O God, and know my heart,
try me, my thoughts unfold:
24And see if any wicked way
there be at all in me;
And in thine everlasting way
to me a leader be.
Psalm 139: O Lord, thou hast me search'd and known
