Weary now I go to rest

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a324 (1895) Topics: Daily Devotion Evening Lyrics: 1 Weary now I go to rest, Close my eyes, Lord, by Thee blest; Father, let Thine eye instead Watch and ward keep o'er my bed. 2 What I have done ill this day, Lord, forgive it all, I pray; Thy rich grace and Jesus' blood Are my trust and highest good. 3 All who are akin to me, Let them rest, Lord, safe in Thee; All mankind, both great and small, Do Thou kindly keep them all.

Lord! thou hast search'd and seen me thro'

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #10 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Daily Devotion Lyrics: Lord, thou hast searched and seen me through, Thine eye commands with piercing view My rising and my resting hours, My heart and flesh with all their powers. My thoughts, before they are my own, Are to my God distinctly known; He knows the words I mean to speak Ere from my op'ning lips they break. Within thy circling power I stand; On every side I find thy hand; Awake, asleep, at home, abroad, I am surrounded still with God. Amazing knowledge, vast and great! What large extent! what lofty height! My soul, with all the powers I boast, Is in the boundless prospect lost. 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. 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? If up to heav'n I take my flight, 'Tis there thou dwell'st enthroned in light Or dive to hell, there vengeance reigns, And Satan groans beneath thy chains. If, mounted on a morning ray, I fly beyond the western sea, Thy swifter hand would first arrive, And there arrest thy fugitive. 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. 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. 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. Midnight and noon in this agree, Great God, they're both alike to thee; Not death can hide what God will spy, And hell lies naked to his eye. 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. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English

In all my vast concerns with thee

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #11 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Daily Devotion Lyrics: 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. Thy all-surrounding sight surveys My rising and my rest, My public walks, my private ways, And secrets of my breast. 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. O wondrous knowledge, deep and high! Where can a creature hide? Within thy circling arms I lie, Beset on every side. So let thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove, To guard my soul from every ill, Secured by sovereign love. Lord, where shall guilty souls retire, Forgotten and unknown? In hell they meet thy dreadful fire, In heav'n thy glorious throne. Should I suppress my vital breath To 'scape the wrath divine, Thy voice would break the bars of death, And make the grave resign. If winged with beams of morning light I fly beyond the west, Thy hand, which must support my flight, Would soon betray my rest. If o'er my sins I think to draw The curtains of the night, Those flaming eyes that guard thy law Would turn the shades to light. The beams of noon, the midnight hour, Are both alike to thee O may I ne'er provoke that power From which I cannot flee. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English

O GOD, my Refuge, hear my Cries

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P55a (1766) Topics: Daily Devotion Lyrics: 1 O GOD, my Refuge, hear my Cries, Behold my flowing Tears; For Earth and Hell my Hurt devise, And triumph in my Fears. 2 Their Rage is levell'd at my Life, My Soul with Guilt they load, And fill my Thoughts with inward Strife To shake my Hope in GOD. 3 With inward Pain my Heart-strings sound, I groan with ev'ry Breath; Horror and Fear beset me round Amongst the Shades of Death. 4 O were I like a feather'd Dove, And Innocence had Wings; I'd fly, and make a long Remove From all these restless Things. 5 Let me to some wild Desart go, And find a peaceful Home, Where Storms of Malice never blow, Temptations never come. 6 Vain hopes, and vain Intentions all To 'scape the Rage of Hell! The mighty GOD, on whom I call, Can save me here as well. Pause. 7 By Morning-Light I'll seek his Face, At Noon repeat my Cry; The Night shall hear me ask his Grace, Nor will he long deny. 8 GOD shall preserve my Soul from Fear, Or shield me when afraid; Ten Thousand Angels must appear, If he command their Aid. 9 I cast my Burdens on the Lord, The Lord sustains them all; My Courage rests upon his Word, That Saints shall never fall. 9 My highest Hopes shall not be vain, My Lips shall spread his Praise; While cruel and deceitful Men Scarce live out Half their Days.

When I with pleasing wonder stand

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #57 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Daily Devotion Lyrics: When I with pleasing wonder stand, And all my frame survey, Lord, 'tis thy work I own thy hand Thus built my humble clay. Thy hand my heart and reins possessed Where unborn nature grew; Thy wisdom all my features traced, And all my members drew. Thine eye with nicest care surveyed The growth of every part; Till the whole scheme thy thoughts had laid Was copied by thy art. Heav'n, earth, and sea, and fire, and wind, Show me thy wondrous skill But I review myself, and find Diviner wonders still. Thy aweful glories round me shine, My flesh proclaims thy praise; Lord, to thy works of nature join Thy miracles of grace. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English

My GOD, what inward Grief I feel

I mourn to hear their Lips profane Take thy tremendous Name in vain. 2 Does not my Soul detest and hate The Sons of Malice and Deceit?

Do I indulge some unknown Sin? O turn my Feet whene'er I stray, And lead me in thy perfect Way. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English
