With Thy ever-searching eyes,
Look within me, view my heart;
Keep me pure in every part.

God of love, God of light,
Guide my trusting soul aright;
God of wisdom, God of pow’r,
Be Thou with me every hour.

Be Thou near me every hour;
Grace and glory to me give,
In Thy might within me live. [Refrain]

God afar, and yet so near,
In Thy majesty so fair,
Thou art present everywhere. [Refrain]

Let Thy glory in me shine;
Like Thine image let me be,
Pure as heaven’s crystal sea. [Refrain]

God of truth, Who cannot lie,
Round about me cast Thy charms,
Underneath me be Thine arms.
