Thou Hast Searched Me And Known Me

Author: Philip Sidney, 1554-1586 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: O Lord, in me there lieth naught Lyrics: 1 O Lord, in me there lieth naught But to Thy search revealèd lies; For when I sit Thou markest it, No less Thou notest when I rise; Yea, closest closet of my thought Hath open windows to Thine eyes. 2 Thou walkest with me when I walk; When to my bed for rest I go, I find Thee there, and everywhere; Not youngest thought in me doth grow, No, not one word I cast to talk, But, yet unuttered, Thou dost know. 3 If forth I march, Thou goest before, If back I turn, Thou com’st behind; So forth nor back Thy guard I lack; Nay, on me too Thy hand I find; Well I Thy wisdom may adore, But never reach with earthly mind. 4 To shun Thy notice, leave Thine eye, O whither might I take my way? To starry sphere? Thy throne is there: To dead men’s undelightsome stay? There is Thy walk, and there to lie Unknown, in vain I should assay. 5 O sun, whom light nor flight can match! Suppose thy lightful, flightful wings Thou lend to me, and I could flee As far as thee the evening brings; E’en led to west He would me catch, Nor should I lurk with western things. 6 Do thou thy best, O secret night, In sable veil to cover me: Thy sable veil shall vainly fail. With day unmasked my night shall be: For night is day, and darkness light, O Father of all lights, to Thee.
