Psalms and Hymns to the Living God ‎#139

139. LORD, Thou Hast Searched Me

1 LORD, Thou hast searched me, and dost know
where'er I rest, where'er I go;
Thou knowest all that I have planned,
and all my ways are in Thy hands.

2 My words from Thee I cannot hide,
I feel Thy pow'r on ev'ry side;
O wondrous knowledge, awful might,
unfathomed depth, unmeasured height!

3 Where can I go apart from Thee,
or whither from Thy presence flee?
In heav'n? it is Thy dwelling fair;
in death's abode? lo, Thou art there.

4 If I the wings of morning take,
and far away my dwelling make,
the hand that leadeth me is Thine,
and my support Thy pow'r divine.

5 If deepest darkness cover me,
the darkness hideth not from Thee;
to Thee both night and day are bright,
the darkness shineth as the light.
