- 1Lord, Thou hast searched and seen me through;
- Thine eye commands, with piercing view,
- My rising and my resting hours,
- My heart and flesh, with all their powers.
- 2Within Thy circling power I stand,
- On every side I find Thy hand:
- Awake, asleep, at home, abroad,
- I am surrounded still with God.
- 3Could I so false, so faithless prove,
- To quit Thy service and Thy love,
- Where Lord, could I Thy presence shun,
- Or from Thy dreadful glory run?
- 4The veil of night is no disguise,
- No screen from Thy all-searching eyes;
- Thy hand can seize Thy foes as soon
- Through midnight shades, as blazing noon.
- 5O may these thoughts possess my breast,
- Where'er I rove, where'er I rest!
- Nor let my weaker passions dare
- Consent to sin, for God is there.
