Praise for the Blessings of Providence and grace

Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 132 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 First Line: Almighty father, gracious Lord Lyrics: 1 Almighty father, gracious Lord, Kind guardian of my days, Thy mercies let my heart record In songs of grateful praise. 2 In life's first dawn, my tender frame Was thy indulgent care, Long ere I could pronounce thy name, Or breathe the infant prayer. 3 [Around my path what dangers rose! What snares spread all my road! No power could guard me from my foes, But my preserver, God. 4 How many blessings round me shone, Where'er I turn'd my eye! How many past almost unknown, Or unregarded, by!] 5 Each rolling year new favors brought From thy exhaustless store: But ah! in vain my laboring thought Would count thy mercies o'er. 6 While sweet reflection thro' my days Thy bounteous hand would trace: Still dearer blessings claim thy praise, The blessings of thy grace. 7 Yes, I adore thee, gracious Lord, For favors more divine: That I have known thy sacred word, Where all thy glories shine. 8 Lord, when this mortal frame decays, And every weakness dies, Complete the wonders of thy grace, And raise me to the skies. 9 Then shall my joyful powers unite In more exalted lays, And Join the happy sons of light In everlasting praise.

Herr! du erforschest mich

Author: E. Kuester Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 Herr! du erforschest mich, Dir bin ich nie verborgen; Du kennst mein ganzes Thun, Siehst alle meine sorgen. Was meine Seele denkt, War dir bereits bekannt, Eh' der gedanke noch In meiner feel entstand. 2 Nie spricht mein Mund ein wort, Das du, O Herr! nicht wissest. Du schaffest, was ich thu'; Du ordnest, du beschliessest, Was mir begegnen soll. Erstaunt seh' ich auf dich; Wie groß ist dein verstand, Wie wunderbar für mich. 3 Wohin, wohin soll ich Vor deinem Geiste fliehen? Un welchen oft kann ich Mich deinem aug' entziehen? Führ' ich zum Himmel auf: So bist du Höchster! da; Führ ich zur tief' hinab; Auch hier bist du mir nah! 4 Nähm; ich auch, schnell zu fliehn, Die sittige vom morgen: Selbst an dem fernsten Meer Bleib ich hier auch gleich Den menschen unbekannt: Gott! so umschlösse mich Doch deiner Allmacht hand. 5 Wollt' ich in Finsternis Mich deinem aug' entziehen; So sucht' ich doch umsonst Auch da dir zu entfliehen. Denn auch die Finsternis Ist vor dir helles licht; Die nacht glänzt wie der tag, Vor deinem Angesicht. 6 Im Mutterliebe schon War ich von dir umgeben, Von dir gebildet, Gott! Von dir geführt in's leben. Ich danke dir, daß du Mich wunderbar gemacht, Und meiner, eh' ich war, Schon väterlich gedacht. 7 Du kanntest mein Gebein, Eh' ich ans licht gekommen, Da ich im dunkeln erst Die Bildung angenommen; Dein Auge sah mich schon, Eh' ich bereitet war, Und meiner tage lauf War dir schon offenbar. 8 Was für Erkenntnisse, Für köstliche Gedanken! Unzahlbar sind sie mir; Denn sie sind ohne Schranken. Mit Ehrfurcht will ich stets Auf dich, mein Schöpfer feh'n, Dir folgen und dein lob, So gut ich kann, erhöh'n. 9 Erforsche mich, mein Gott! Und prüfe, wie ochs meine, Ob ich rechtschaffen bin, Wie ich von auffen scheine. Sieh, ob mein fuß vielleicht Sich einem Irrweg naht, Und leite meinen gang Auf ebnen, sichern Pfad.

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 First Line: O Lord, thou dost me search and know Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou dost me search and know, Thou know'st my sitting down, 2 My rising up, my thought also To thee far off is known. 3 Thou fann'st my path and lying down, And all my ways kmow'st well. 4 For !o each word that's in my tongue, Lord, thou can'st fully tell. 5 Behind thou gird'st me, and before, On me dost lay thine hand 6 Such high and wond'rous skill is more Than I can comprehend. 7 Where shall I from thy spirit go? Or from thy face where fiy? 8 If heav'n I climb thou there? lo thou If down in hell I lie. 9 If morning wings I take, and dwell Where utmost sea-coasts be. 10 Ev'n there thy hand conduct me shall, And thy right hand hold me. 11 Yea darkness sure shall cover me, If that I thus shall say: Then shall the night about me be Like to the lightsome day. 12 Yea darkness darkneth not from thee, But like the day shines night: Alike unto thee both these be, The darkness and the light. [2] 13 For thou my reins possessed hast, And also cover'd me, Within my mother's womb thou hast. 14 My praise shall be of thee; Because that 1 am fashion'd thus In fearful wond'rous wise; And that thy works are marvellous, My soul right well descries. 15 From thee my substance was not hid, When closely made was I; And when that I was fashioned In earth's deeps curiously. 16 Thine eyes did on my substance look, When yet I wanted frame: And all my members in thy book Were written down by name. Which day by day should fashion'd be, When none of them were come. 17 How precious are thy thoughts to me, God! how great's their sum? 18 If I of them account should take, More than the sands they be. And still when that I do awake, I present am with thee. [3] 19 O God, thou surely wilt them slay That wicked persons be; Depart therefore from hence away, Ye men of blood, from me. 20 Because that they against thee do Speak in mischievous wise. Thy name in vain they take also, Who are thine enemies. 21 Jehovah, hate I not the men That thee do hate? likewise Am I not sore aggriev'd with them That up against thee rise? 22 With perfect hate them hate do I, I take them for my foes. 23 Search me, O God, my heart descry, Try me, my thoughts disclose. 24 Behold in me if fhat there be Ev'n any wicked way; And in the way conduct thou me That doth endure for aye.

Thus I shall shine in heaven, Where crowns of gold are given To all who faithful prove and true. 4 To rest my body hasteth, Aside its garments casteth, Types of mortality; These I put off and ponder How Christ will give me yonder A robe of glorious majesty. 5 Lord Jesus, who dost love me, Oh, spread Thy wings above me And shield me from alarm! Though evil would assail me, Thy mercy will not fail me; I rest in Thy protecting arm. 6 My loved ones, rest securely, For God this night will surely From peril guard your heads.
