Lord, thou has search'd me, and hast known
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast search’d me, and hast known
my rising up and laying down;
and from afar thy searching eye
beholds my thoughts that secret lie.
2 Thou know’st my path and lying down,
and all my ways to thee are known;
for in my tongue no word can be,
but, lo! O Lord, ‘tis known to thee.
3 Behind, before me, thou dost stand,
and lay on me thy mighty hand.
Such knowledge is for me too strange,
‘tis high beyond my utmost range.
4 O, whither shall my footsteps fly,
beyond thy Spirit’s searching eye?
To what retreat shall I repair,
and find not thy dread presence there?
5 If I to heaven shall ascend,
thy presence there will me attend;
if in the grave I make my bed,
lo! there I find thy presence dread.
6 If on the morning wings I flee,
and dwell in utmost parts of sea,
ev'n there thy hand shall guide my way,
and thy right hand shall be my stay.
7 Or if I say, to shun thine eye,
in shades of darkness I will lie,
around me then the very night
will shine as shines the noonday light.
8 From thee the shades can nought disguise;
the night is day before thine eyes;
the darkness is to thee as bright
as are the beams of noonday light.
9 My very reins belong to thee;
thou in the womb didst cover me;
and I to thee will praise proclaim,
for fearful, wondrous is my frame.
10 Thy works are wonderful, I know;
and when, in depths of earth below,
this complicated frame was made,
'twas all before thine eyes displayed.
11 My substance, yet unformed by thee,
thy searching eye did clearly see:
my days were written, every one,
within thy books, ere yet begun.
12 Thy thoughts, O God, to me are dear;
how vast their numbers do appear!
More than the sand my reckonings make;
I'm still with thee when I awake.
13 Thou wilt the wicked slay, O God;
depart from me, ye men of blood,
who speak to thee for ends profane,
thy foes who take thy name in vain.
14 Do not I hate thy haters, Lord?
and thy assailants hold abhorred?
A perfect hatred them I show,
and count each one to me a foe.
15 Search me, O God, my heart discern,
try me, my very thoughts to learn;
see if in evil paths I stray,
and guide me in the eternal way. Scripture: Psalm 139 Used With Tune: ANGELS' SONG

Around the throne of God a band
Author: J. M. Neale Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Around the throne of God a band
Of bright and glorious angels stand,
Sweet harps within their hands they hold,
And on their heads are crowns of gold.
2 Some wait around Him ready still
To sing His praise and do His will,
And some, when He commands them, go
To guard His servants here below.
3 Lord, give Thine angels every day
Command to guard us on our way,
And bid them every evening keep
Their watch around us while we sleep.
4 So shall no wicked thing draw near
To do us harm, or cause us fear;
And we shall dwell, when life is past,
With angels round Thy throne at last. Topics: Holy Days St. Michael and All Angels Used With Tune: ANGELS

Great God, attend while Zion sings
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 360 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, attend while Zion sings
The joy that from thy presence springs;
To spend one day with thee on earth
Exceeds a thousand days of mirth.
2 Might I enjoy the humblest place
Within thy house, O God of grace!
Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power,
Should tempt my feet to leave thy door.
3 God is our sun, he makes our day;
God is our shield, he guards our way
From all assaults of hell and sin,
From foes without and foes within.
4 All needful grace will God bestow,
And crown that grace with glory, too;
He gives us all things, and withholds
No needed good from upright souls. Topics: Worship Praise and Reverence of God Used With Tune: ANGELS

O praise the Lord in that blest place
O Thou to whom, in ancient time
Author: John Pierpont Appears in 125 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou to whom, in ancient time,
The psalmist's sacred harp was strung,
Whom kings adored in songs sublime,
And prophets praised with glowing tongue.
2 Not now on Zion's hight alone
Thy favored worshipers may dwell,
Nor where, at sultry noon, thy Son
Sat weary by the patriarch's well.
3 From every place below the skies,
The grateful song, the fervent prayer
The incense of the heart may rise
To heaven, and find acceptance.
4 To thee shall age, with snowy hair,
And strength, and beauty, bend the knee,
And childhood lisp with reverent air
Its praises and its prayers to thee. Topics: Worship Praise and Reverence of God Used With Tune: ANGELS
O Thou to whom, in ancient time
My strength he weakened in the way
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 23 My strength he weakened in the way,
my days of life he shortened.
24 My God, O take me not away
in mid-time of my days, I said:
thy years throughout all ages last.
25 Of old thou hast established
the earth’s foundation firm and fast:
thy mighty hands the heavens have made.
26 They perish shall, as garments do,
but thou shalt evermore endure;
as vestures, thou shalt change them so;
and they shall all be changed sure:
27 but from all changes thou art free;
thy endless years do last for aye.
28 Thy servants, and their seed who be,
established shall before thee stay. Scripture: Psalm 102:23-28 Used With Tune: ANGELS' SONG
