Omniscient Observations

Tune: Stowey

(\'When a knight won his spurs\')

Psalm 139 v.14-24 parts

********

O Lord, you I will praise

And your name I will raise

For it is I be made

In your image arrayed

Fearfully, wonderfully

You have made me, so be

Your good hand creating

Me all, each, everything

 

Marvellous your works be

My soul knows them, I see

My substance was hid not

When you portioned my lot

But when made in secret

All my parts were set

In your book, they all are

You the great God by far

 

How precious too, your thoughts

Unto me Lord, good sorts

How great sum of them is

I cannot count, \'tis this

The number of them more

Is than the sand\'s grains sure

When I wake, still with you

I am, you my God true

 

Search me, O God, and know

My heart, reveal, me show

If there any wicked

Way in me now be hid

And know my thoughts here, may

They be pure, I do pray

And lead me in your way

Of everlasting day
