Fits tune: Sine Nomine
('For all the saints')
Psalm 139 v. 14 - 24
********
1. O sing unto God now a song of praise
With tuneful melodies His name upraise
He Lord of Lords e'en unto endless days
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2. I will praise you, for I made fearfully
Am, and too wonderfully made I be
Marvellous your works, O my God, I see
Alleluia! Alleluia!
3. These things my soul it does know true, right well
All my substance, my being you did tell
Before my appointed lots they fell
Alleluia! Alleluia!
4. And all my parts, when yet I as unborn
You wrote them in your book, did me adorn
Desiring I never from you be torn
Alleluia! Alleluia!
5. How precious too are your thoughts unto me
O God, how great the sum of them sure be
More than sand's grains if I inventory
Alleluia! Allelluia!
6. When I awake, I still then am with you
You will me help, protect from wicked too
Render to them their recompence, their due
Alleluia! Alleluia!
7. Search me, O God, and here my heart do know
And too my thoughts, if wicked ways do show
Lead me, [in] way everlasting, grace bestow
Alleluia! Alleluia!
