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.

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.

Our righteousness must far exceed

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 Our righteousness must far exceed That of the Pharisees indeed; It must be of a diff'rent kind, Such as renews the heart and mind. 2 To sing and pray, and make a show, Is what the hypocrite can do; May seem to act the christian part, Yet not the cause of Christ at heart. 3 Where grace divine, reigns not within, The mind is still attach'd to sin; The best devotion, dead and cold, As was the Pharisees of old. 4 But diff'rent is the b'lievers state, He will not live at such a rate; His case unto himself is known, He pleads, no merits of his own. 5 He pleads not for self-righteousness, But all he pleads is pard'ning grade; All which he trusts he shall partake, And that alone for Jesus sake. 6 He gains that faith which works by love, And all within him live and move In Christ his Saviour, and his God, Who hath redeem'd him with his blood. 7 Here is the christian set to view: Lord grant that I may be such too; Grant me that righteousness I need, Which does the Pharisees exceed.

O Lord, thou do'st me search, and know

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1. O Lord, thou do'st me search, and know, Whether I sit, or rise. 2. My thoughts, far distant from my Breast, Thy piercing Sight descries. 3. My Path, and Bed, thou do'st surround, And knowest all my Ways. 4. There's not a Word couch'd in my Tongue, But, Lord, thine Eye surveys. 5. Behind, before, thou hast beset, And on me laid thine Hand. 6. Such Knowledge is too wondrous high. For me to understand. 7. Where shall I from thy Spirit go? Or from thy Presence fly? 8. If Heav'n I climb, thou'rt there; lo there, If deep in Earth I ly. 9. If on the Morning Wings, I flee To utmost Bounds of Seas: 10. Thy Hand must first conduct me there, There would thy Right-hand seise. 11. Or should I think to hide, behind The Curtains of the Night; Ev'n Night itself would round me shine, As Noon Days strongest Light. 12. No Darkness can obscure thy Sight; Thus Day, and Night, agree; The darkest Night, and brightest Day, Are both alike to Thee. Second Part 13. My inmost Reins, which thou didst form, Are still possess'd by Thee; Thou, in the Womb, with tender Care, Did'st wrap, and cover me. 14. Thy Wonders, in my curious Frame, My Admiration raise; My Soul, thy marv'lous Works, knows well, And gives to Thee the Praise. 15. My Substance was not hid from Thee, Who me in Secret wrought; And, in the Depth of Earth, the Parts To closest Union brought. 16. Thine Eyes beheld my unformed Mass, The daily Growth it took; And all my Members yet unshap'd. Were entered in thy Book. 17. How precious are thy Thoughts to me! O God, how wondrous kind! From first, to last, how great's their Sum! No Power of mine can find. 18. Should I attempt to number them, They far surpass the Sand; Whene'er I wake, I'm still with Thee, Supported by thine Hand. Third Part 19. Surely the Men that wicked are, Thou wilt destroy, O God Therefore, from my Society, Depart, ye Men of Blood. 20. For their vile Tongues against Thee speak, And impiously proclaim; Thine Enemies, perfidious take In vain thy sacred Name. 21. Are not those Men, that hate Thee, Lord, Most hateful in mine Eyes? Is not mine Heart ev'n broke to see, Against Thee, how they rise? 22. Such Men, I utterly abhor, And number with my Foes. 23. Search me, and know my Heart; and all, My secret Thoughts disclose. 24. Discover ev'ry harbour'd Crime, That lurketh in my Breast; And lead me, all my future Days, The Way to endless Rest.
