139a. From Thee, O LORD

1 From Thee, O LORD, I came at first,
The creature of Thy hand;
Thy providence my life has nursed,
And by Thy grace I stand.

2 Each member of my wondrous frame,
Displays Thy skill and power;
And countless benefits proclaim,
Thy love from hour to hour.

3 Down in Thine arms at night I lie;
Thou watchest while I sleep.
I wake at morn; Thou still are nigh,
My soul to tend and keep.

4 Search me, O LORD; my spirit prove;
From sin O set me free:
Ad make my heart return the love,
It daily shares from Thee.
