Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: Lord, Thou hast search'd me, and hast known Refrain First Line: Whither, whither shall my footsteps fly Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast search’d me, and hast known My rising up and laying down, And from afar Thy searching eye Beholds my thoughts that secret lie. Refrain: Whither, whither shall my footsteps fly, Beyond the Spirit’s searching eye? O whither, whither shall my footsteps fly, Beyond the Spirit’s searching eye? 2 Thou know’st my path and lying down, And all my ways to Thee are known; For in my tongue no word can be, But, lo, O Lord, ‘tis known to Thee. [Refrain] 3 Behind, before me, Thou dost stand, And lay on me Thy mighty hand; Such knowledge is for me too strange, ‘Tis high beyond my utmost range. [Refrain] 4 O whither shall my footsteps fly, Beyond Thy Spirit’s searching eye! To what retreat shall I repair, And find not Thy dread presence there! [Refrain] 5 If I to heaven shall ascend, Thy presence there will me attend; If in the grave I make my bed, Lo, there I find Thy presence dread. [Refrain] 6 If on the morning wings I flee, And dwell in utmost parts of the sea; Even there Thy hand shall guide my way, And Thy right hand shall be my stay. [Refrain] 7 Of, if I say, to shun Thine eye, In shades of darkness I will lie, Around me then the very night Will shine as shines the noon-day light. [Refrain] 8 From Thee the shades can nought disguise, The night is day before Thine eyes; The darkness is to Thee as bright As are the beams of noon-day light.
