Lord, Thou Hast Searched Me
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: God His Wisdom; God Omnipresence of; God Omniscience of; Preparatory Service First Line: Lord, thou has searched me, and dost know Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast searched me, and dost know
where'er I rest, where'er I go;
thou knowest all that I have planned,
and all my ways are in thy hand.
2 My words from thee I cannot hide;
I feel thy pow'r on every side;
O wondrous knowledge, awesome might,
unfathomed depth, unmeasured height!
3 Where can I go apart from thee,
or whither from thy presence flee?
In heav'n? - it is thy dwelling fair;
in death's abode? - lo, thou art there.
4 If I the wings of morning take,
and far away my dwelling make,
the hand that leadeth me is thine,
and my support thy pow'r divine.
5 If deepest darkness cover me,
the darkness hideth not from thee;
to thee both night and day are bright,
the darkness shineth as the light.

And starr'd with sparkling gold.

And strike the gazing sight,
Thro' skies, and seas, and solid ground,
With terror and delight.

Shine thro' the worlds abroad!

And speak the builder God.

Our softer passions move;
Pity divine in Jesus' face
We see, adore, and love.

Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Christ Wisdom of God Lyrics: 1 Shall Wisdom cry aloud,
And not her Speech be heard?
The Voice of God's eternal Word,
Deserves it no Regard?
2 "I was his chief Delight,
"His Everlasting Son,
"Before the first of all his Works,
"Creation, was begun.
[3 "Before the flying Clouds,
"Before the solid Land,
"Before the Fields, before the Flood,
"I dwelt at his Right Hand.
4 "When he adorn'd the skies,
"And built them, I was there,
"To order where the Sun should rise,
"And marshal ev'ry Star.
5 "When he pour'd out the Sea,
"And spread the flowing Deep,
"I gave the Flood a firm Decree
"In its own Bounds to keep.]
6 "Upon the empty Air
"The Earth was ballanc'd well;
"With Joy I saw the Mansion where
"The Sons of Men should dwell.
7 "My busy Thoughts at first
"On their Salvation ran,
"E'er Sin was born, or Adam's Dust
"Was fashion'd to a Man.
9 "Then come, receive my Grace,
"Ye Children, and be wise;
"Happy the Man that keeps my Ways,
The Man that shuns them dies. Scripture: Proverbs 8:1

Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas-
His hand the wonders wrought.

The birds their carols raise;
The morning light, sun shining bright,
Declare its Maker's praise.

He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass-
He speaks to me ev'rywhere.

That tho' the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the Ruler yet.

And earth and heav'n be one. Scripture: Psalm 24:1 Used With Tune: TERRA BEATA
