God Omnipresent and Omniscient

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 328 hymnals Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God First Line: Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me through Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me through, Thine eye commands, with piercing view, My rising and my resting hours, My heart and flesh, with all their pow'rs. 2 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? 3 If, mounted on a morning ray, I fly beyond the western sea; Thy swifter hand would first arrive, And there arrest thy fugitive. 4 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. 5 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. 6 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.

If one sharp blast sweep o’er the field, It withers in an hour. 7 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children’s children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

O Praise the Lord, His Deeds Make Known

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Children; Covenant; Divine Election; Faithfulness of God; Israel in the Desert; Joy; Judgment; Praise for Blessings; Praise for God's Perfections; Praise for God's Works; Praise in Worship; Providence of God Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord, His deeds make known, And call upon His Name; Sing ye to Him, His praises sing, His wondrous works proclaim. Let hearts rejoice that seek the Lord, His holy Name adore; Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek Him forevermore 2 Ye children of God's covenant, Who of His grace have heard, Forget not all His wondrous deeds And judgments of His word. The Lord our God is God alone, All lands His judgments know; His promise He remembers still, While generations go. 3 While yet our fathers were but few, Sojourners in the land, He sware that Canaan should be theirs, And made His covenant stand. He suffered none to do them wrong In all their pilgrim way; Yea, for their sake were kings reproved And covered with dismay. 4 His stern command restrained their foes And filled them with alarm: Touch not My own anointed ones, Nor do My prophets harm. He wholly broke the staff of bread And called for famine sore, And He prepared His people's way Be sending one before. 5 Then Joseph, sold to slavery, With cruel chains was bound; Till his prediction came to pass, Distress and grief he found. The king released him from his bonds And made him rule the land, Subjecting chiefs and senators To his controlling hand. 6 To Egypt Israel followed then, And there grew great and strong, Until their friends became their foes And did them grievous wrong. God sent His servant Moses then, And Aaron, whom He chose; Great signs and wonders they displayed To terrify their foes. 7 In darkness they were taught to fear God's great and holy Name; On man and best, on vine and field, His awful judgment came. He smote the first-born in the land, The chief of all their strength, Enriched His people with the spoil And brought them forth at length. 8 He led them forth in health and strength, None weak in all their band, And Egypt, filled with fear, rejoiced To see them leave the land. He spread a cloud to cover them, Most glorious and bright, And made a fiery pillar shine To give them light by night. 9 At their request He sent them quails, And bread of heaven bestowed; And from the rock, to quench their thirst, The living waters flowed. His sacred word to Abraham He kept, though waiting long, And brought His chosen people forth With joy and thankful song. 10 The lands and toil of wicked men He gave them to possess, That they might keep His holy laws; Jehovah praise and bless. Let hearts rejoice that seek the Lord, His holy Name adore; Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek Him forevermore. Scripture: Psalm 105 Used With Tune: SPOHR

Cleanse me from hidden stain; Keep me from willful sins, Nor let them o'er me reign; And then I upright shall appear And be from great transgressions clear. 5 When Thou dost search my life, May all my tho'ts within And all the words I speak Thy full approval win. O Lord, Thou art a rock to me, And my Redeemer Thou shalt be. Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: HADDAM
