  1. 1Lord, all I am is known to Thee!
  2. In vain my soul would try
  3. To shun Thy presence, or to flee
  4. The notice of Thine eye.
  5. 2Thy all-surrounding sight surveys
  6. My rising and my rest,
  7. My public walks, my private ways,
  8. And secrets of my breast.
  9. 3My thoughts lie open to the Lord,
  10. Before they’re formed within;
  11. And ere my lips pronounce the word,
  12. He knows the sense I mean.
  13. 4O wondrous knowledge, deep and high!
  14. Where can a creature hide?
  15. Within Thy circling arms I lie,
  16. Beset on every side.
  17. 5So let Thy grace surround me still,
  18. And like a bulwark prove,
  19. To guard my soul from every ill,
  20. Secured by sovereign love.
