Tune: Lux Eoi
(\'Alleluia, Alleluia! hearts to heaven and voices raise\')
Psalm 139 v.14-18 and v.23-24
*********
I will praise you, O LORD, for I
Am made by you, \'tis no lie
Made fearfully, wonderfully
That fear it awesomeness be
Marvellous are your works, and my
Soul knows well, and you are nigh
So I give thanks, you in each thing
Unto me in wisdom bring
My substance was not hid from you
When you did make me, all new
Made in secret, in the womb, you
Skilfully wrought there then too
You saw me before you made me
Things invisible you see
You continued, and me fashioned
Of your wonders there no end
How precious also are your thoughts
Various and of all sorts
Your thoughts unto me, O God! How
Great, I cannot count them now
If I try to, they be more than
Grains of sand on shore, how can
One then reckon up the sum whole?!
But we still can you extol
Waking, sleeping, working, resting
I still with you in each thing
You Creator, I your creature
So search me, O God, know sure
My heart, try me, and my thoughts know
If any wicked way show
Me, and lead me in your way to
Everlasting walk with you
