Psalm 139 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 325 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 First Line: Lord, thou hast searched and seen me through Lyrics:
Lord, thou hast searched and seen me through,
Thine eye commands with piercing view
My rising and my resting hours,
My heart and flesh with all their powers.
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.
Within thy circling power I stand;
On every side I find thy hand;
Awake, asleep, at home, abroad,
I am surrounded still with God.
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.
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.
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?
If up to heav'n I take my flight,
'Tis there thou dwell'st enthroned in light
Or dive to hell, there vengeance reigns,
And Satan groans beneath thy chains.
If, mounted on a morning ray,
I fly beyond the western sea,
Thy swifter hand would first arrive,
And there arrest thy fugitive.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Psalm 139 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 251 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 First Line: In all my vast concerns with thee Lyrics:
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.
Thy all-surrounding sight surveys
My rising and my rest,
My public walks, my private ways,
And secrets of my breast.
My thoughts lie open to the Lord
Before they're formed within;
And ere my lips pronounce the word
He knows the sense I mean.
O wondrous knowledge, deep and high!
Where can a creature hide?
Within thy circling arms I lie,
Beset on every side.
So let thy grace surround me still,
And like a bulwark prove,
To guard my soul from every ill,
Secured by sovereign love.
Lord, where shall guilty souls retire,
Forgotten and unknown?
In hell they meet thy dreadful fire,
In heav'n thy glorious throne.
Should I suppress my vital breath
To 'scape the wrath divine,
Thy voice would break the bars of death,
And make the grave resign.
If winged with beams of morning light
I fly beyond the west,
Thy hand, which must support my flight,
Would soon betray my rest.
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.
The beams of noon, the midnight hour,
Are both alike to thee
O may I ne'er provoke that power
From which I cannot flee.

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,

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!

Precious Lord, Take My Hand
Thou Lord, by strictest Search hast known
Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, by strictest Search hast known
2 My rising up and lying down;
My secret Thoughts are known to thee,
Known long before conceiv'd by me.
3 Thine Eye my Bed and Path surveys,
My publick Haunts and private Ways;
4 Thou know'st what 'tis my Lips would vent,
My yet unutter'd words intent.
5 Surrounded by thy Pow'r I stand,
On ev'ry Side I find thy Hand.
6 O Skill, for human Reach too high!
Too dazzling bright for mortal Eye!
7 O could I so perfidious be,
To think of once deserting thee,
Where, Lord, could I thy Influence shun?
Or whither from thy Presence run?
8 If up to Heav'n I take my Flight,
'Tis there thou dwell'st enthron'd in Light,
Or sink to Hell's infernal Plains,
'Tis there Almighty Vengeance reigns.
9 If I the Morning's Wings could gain,
And fly beyond the Western Main,
10 Thy swifter Hand would first arrive,
And there arrest thy Fugitive.
11 Or should I try to shun thy Sight
Beneath the sable Wings of Night;
One Glance from thee, one piercing Ray
Would kindle Darkness into Day.
12 The Veil of Night is no Disguise,
No Screen from thy all-searching Eyes:
Thro' Midnight Shades thou find'st thy Way,
As in the blazing Noon of Day.
13 Thou know'st the Texture of my Heart,
My Reins and ev'ry vital part;
Each single Thread, in Nature's Loom,
By thee was cover'd in the Womb.
14 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.
15 Thine Eyes my Substance did survey,
while yet a lifeless Mass it lay,
In secret how exactly wrought,
E'er from its dark Inclosure brought.
16 Thou didst the shapeless Embrio see,
Its Parts were registred by Thee:
Thou saw'st the daily Growth they took,
Form'd by the Model of thy Book.
17 Let me acknowledge too, O God,
That since this Maze of Life I trod,
Thy Thoughts of Love to me surmount
The Pow'r of Numbers to recount.
18 Far sooner could I reckon o'er
The Sands upon the Ocean's Shore:
Each Morn revising what I've done,
I find th' Account but new begun.
19 The Wicked thou shalt slay, O God:
Depart from me, ye Men of Blood,
20 Whose Tongues Heav'n's Majesty profane,
And take th' Almighty's Name in vain.
21 Lord, hate not I their impious Crew,
Who thee with Enmity pursue?
And does not Grief my Heart oppress,
When Reprobates thy Law transgress?
22 Who practise Enmity to Thee,
Shall utmost Hatred have from me;
Such Men I utterly detest,
As if they were my Foes profest.
23,24 Search, try, O God, my Thoughts and Heart,
If Mischief lurks in any Part;
Correct me where I go astray,
And guide me in thy perfect Way.
Thou Lord, by strictest Search hast known
Psalm 139 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 First Line: When I with pleasing wonder stand Lyrics:
When I with pleasing wonder stand,
And all my frame survey,
Lord, 'tis thy work I own thy hand
Thus built my humble clay.
Thy hand my heart and reins possessed
Where unborn nature grew;
Thy wisdom all my features traced,
And all my members drew.
Thine eye with nicest care surveyed
The growth of every part;
Till the whole scheme thy thoughts had laid
Was copied by thy art.
Heav'n, earth, and sea, and fire, and wind,
Show me thy wondrous skill
But I review myself, and find
Diviner wonders still.
Thy aweful glories round me shine,
My flesh proclaims thy praise;
Lord, to thy works of nature join
Thy miracles of grace.

Psalm 139 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 First Line: 'Twas from thy hand, my God, I came Lyrics:
'Twas from thy hand, my God, I came,
A work of such a curious frame
In me thy fearful wonders shine,
And each proclaims thy skill divine.
Thine eyes did all my limbs survey,
Which yet in dark confusion lay;
Thou saw'st the daily growth they took,
Formed by the model of thy book.
By thee my growing parts were named,
And what thy sovereign counsels framed-
The breathing lungs, the beating heart-
Was copied with unerring art.
At last, to show my Maker's name,
God stamped his image on my frame,
And in some unknown moment joined
The finished members to the mind.
There the young seeds of thought began,
And all the passions of the man:
Great God, our infant nature pays
Immortal tribute to thy praise.
Lord, since in my advancing age
I've acted on life's busy stage,
Thy thoughts of love to me surmount
The power of numbers to recount.
I could survey the ocean o'er,
And count each sand that makes the shore,
Before my swiftest thoughts could trace
The num'rous wonders of thy grace.
These on my heart are still impressed,
With these I give my eyes to rest;
And at my waking hour I find
God and his love possess my mind.

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.

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.

call us, O Lord, to your eternal peace.

O let me cheerfully fulfill;

and prove thy good and perfect will.

and hide my simple heart above.
Above the thorns of choking care,
the gilded baits of worldly love.

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.

a calm and heavenly frame,

2 Where is the blessedness I knew
when first I sought the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
of Jesus and his Word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
4 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne
and worship only thee.
5 So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb.

Hymn 136
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:23-24 First Line: God is a Spirit, just and wise Lyrics:
God is a Spirit, just and wise,
He sees our inmost mind;
In vain to beav'n we raise our cries,
And leave our souls behind.
Nothing but truth before his throne
With honor can appear;
The painted hypocrites are known
Through the disguise they wear.
Their lifted eyes salute the skies,
Their bending knees the ground;
But God abhors the sacrifice,
Where not the heart is found.
Lord, search my thoughts, and try my ways,
And make my soul sincere
Then shall I stand before thy face,
And find acceptance there.

what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.

shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 470 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:7-10 Lyrics: 1 I sing the mighty power of God that made the mountains rise,
that spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day;
the moon shines full at God’s command and all the stars obey.
2 I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food;
he formed the creatures with his word and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how your wonders are displayed where’er I turn my eye,
if I survey the ground I tread or gaze upon the sky!
3 There’s not a plant or flower below but makes your glories known,
and clouds arise and tempests blow by order from your throne;
while all that borrows life from you is ever in your care,
and everywhere that we can be, you, God are present there.

I fly beyond the west,
Thy hand, which must support my flight,
Would soon betray my rest.
3 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.
4 The beams of noon, the midnight hour,
Am both alike to thee:
Oh, may I ne'er provoke that power,
From which I cannot flee. Topics: God: The Father Used With Tune: ELIZABETHTOWN

The Omnipresence and Omniscience of God
Author: Blacklock Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 First Line: Lord, thou with an unerring beam Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou with an unerring beam
Surveyest all my powers;
My rising steps are watch'd by thee,
By thee, my resting hours.
2 My thoughts, scarce struggling in to birth
Great God, are known to thee:
Abroad, at home, still I'm inclos'd
With thine immensity.
3 To thee the labyrinths of life
In open view appear;
Nor steals a whisper from my lips
Without thy listening ear.
4 Behind I glance, and thou art there;
Before me shines thy name;
And 'tis thy strong almighty hand
Sustains my tender frame.
5 Such knowledge mocks the vain essays
Of my astonish'd mind;
Nor can my reason's soaring eye
Its towering summit find.
Pause.
6 Where from thy spirit shall I stretch
The pinions of my flight?
Or where, thro' nature's spacious range,
Shall I elude thy sight?
7 Scal'd I the skies; the blaze divine
Would overwhelm my soul:
Plung'd I to hell; there should I hear
Thine awful thunders roll.
8 If on a morning's darting ray
With matchless speed I rode,
And flew to the wild lonely shore,
That bounds the ocean's flood;
9 Thither thine hand, all-present God,
Must guide the wondrous way,
And thine omnipotence support
The fabric of my clay.
10 Should I involve myself around
With clouds of tenfold night,
The clouds would shine like blazing noon
Before thy piercing sight.
11 "The beams of noon, the midnight hour
"Are both alike to thee:
"O may I ne'er provoke that power,
"From which I cannot flee!"

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. Topics: Creation and Providence; Praise to God for the blessings of providence and grace; Praise for the blessing of Providence
