O for a Closer Walk with God
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,365 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:23-24 Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame,
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
2 Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn
And drove Thee from my breast.
3 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate’er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.
4 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.

O Thou, to whose all-searching sight
O Lord, thou hast me searched and known
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou hast me searched and known.
2 Thou knowest my sitting down,
and rising up; yea, all my thoughts
afar to thee are known.
3 My footsteps, and my lying down,
thou compassest always;
thou also most entirely art
acquaint with all my ways.
4 For in my tongue, before I speak,
not any word can be,
but altogether, lo, O Lord,
it is well known to thee.
5 Behind, before, thou hast beset,
and laid on me thine hand.
6 Such knowledge is too strange for me,
too high to understand.
7 Where from thy Spirit shall I go?
or from thy presence fly?
8 Ascend I heaven, lo, thou art there;
there, if in hell I lie.
9 Take I the wings of morn, and dwell
in utmost parts of sea;
10 even there, Lord, shall thy hand me lead,
thy right hand hold shall me.
11 If I do say that darkness shall
me cover from thy sight,
then surely shall the very night
about me be as light.
12 Yea, darkness hideth not from thee,
but night doth shine as day:
to thee the darkness and the light
are both alike alway.
13 Because thou hast possessed my reins,
and thou didst cover me,
when I within my mother’s womb
inclosed was by thee.
14 Thee will I praise, for fearfully
and strangely made I am;
thy works are wonderful, and well
my soul doth know the same.
15 When I was made in secret place,
my substance thou didst see;
when in the lowest parts of earth
I was wrought curiously.
16 While yet unformed my substance was,
thine eyes on it did look;
my days, while yet not one had dawned,
were written in thy book.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts,
O gracious God, to me!
and in their sum how passing great
and numberless they be!
18 If I should count them, than the sand
they more in number be:
what time soever I awake,
I ever am with thee.
19 Thou, Lord, wilt sure the wicked slay:
hence from me bloody men.
20 Thy foes against thee loudly speak,
and take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate all those, O Lord,
that hatred bear to thee?
With those that up against thee rise
can I but grieved be?
22 With perfect hatred them I hate,
my foes I them do hold.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart,
try me, my thoughts unfold:
24 and see if any wicked way
there be at all in me;
and in thine everlasting way
to me a leader be. Used With Tune: ST ANDREW
O Lord, thou hast me searched and known
O Lord, My Inmost Heart and Thought
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my inmost heart and thought
Thy searching eye doth see;
Where'er I rest, where'er I go,
My ways are known to Thee.
2 Each spoken word, each silent thought,
Thou, Lord, dost understand;
Before me and behind art Thou,
Restraining by Thy hand.
3 If I the wings of morning take
To some remotest land,
Still I shall be upheld by Thee
And guided by Thy hand.
4 From Thee, O Lord, I cannot hide,
Though darkness cover me;
The darkness and the light of day
Are both alike to Thee.
5 Search me, O God, and know my heart,
Try me, my thoughts to know;
O lead me, if in sin I stray,
In paths of life to go.
Amen. Topics: God Guide; God Presence; God the Father His Presence Used With Tune: WALSALL Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

O Love that wilt not let me go
Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 670 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:1-6 Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain
that morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee:
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be.

O Love that wilt not let me go
Omnipresence
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 251 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:2 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 Thine 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 formed 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,
Enclosed on every side.
5 So let thy grace surround me still,
And like a bulwark prove,
To guard my soul from every ill,
Secured by sovereign love.
