Psalms 139:7

• [Psa 139:7] In All My Vast Concerns With Thee

  In all my vast concerns with Thee, In vain my soul would try To shun Thy presence, Lord, or flee The notice of Thine eye. Thy all-surrounding sight surveys My rising and my rest, My public walks, my private ways, And secrets of my breast. My thoughts lie open to the Lord Before they’re formed within; And ere my lips pronounce the word He knows the sense I mean. O wondrous knowledge, deep and high! Where can a creature hide? Within Thy circling arms I lie, Beset on every side. So let Thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove, To guard my soul from every ill, Secured by sovereign love. Lord, where shall guilty souls retire, Forgotten and unknown? In hell they meet Thy dreadful fire, In Heav’n Thy glorious throne. Should I suppress my vital breath To ’scape the wrath divine, Thy voice would break the bars of death, And make the grave resign. If winged with beams of morning light I fly beyond the west, Thy hand, which must support my flight, Would soon betray my rest. If o’er my sins I think to draw The curtains of the night, Those flaming eyes that guard Thy law Would turn the shades to light. The beams of moon, the midnight hour, Are both alike to Thee: O may I ne’er provoke that power From which I cannot flee.

Psalms 139:11-16

• [Psa 139:11] Round Me Falls The Night

  Round me falls the night; Savior, be my Light: Through the hours in darkness shrouded Let me see Thy face unclouded; Let Thy glory shine in this heart of mine. Earthly work is done, earthly sounds are none; Rest in sleep and silence seeking, Let my hear Thee softly speaking; In my spirit’s ear whisper “I am near.” Darkened now each ray o’er the traveler’s way; Let me know that Thou hast found me, Let me feel Thine arms around me, Sure from every ill Thou wilt guard me still. Blessèd heavenly Light, shining through earth’s night; Voice, that oft of love hast told me; Arms, so strong to clasp and hold me; Thou Thy watch wilt keep, Savior, o’er my sleep.

• [Psa 139:12] God Is Always Near Me

  God is always near me, Hearing what I say; Knowing all my thoughts and deeds, All my work and play. God is always near me, In the darkest night, He can see me just the same As by midday light. God is always near me, Though so young and small; Not a look, or word, or thought, But God knows it all.

• [Psa 139:12] O Thou To Whose All Searching Sight

  O Thou to Whose all searching sight The darkness shineth as the light, Search, prove my heart; it pants for Thee; O burst these bonds, and set it free! Wash out its stains, refine its dross, Nail my affections to the cross; Hallow each thought; let all within Be clean, as Thou, my Lord, art clean! If in this darksome wild I stray, Be Thou my light, be Thou my way; No foes, no violence I fear, No fraud, while thou, my God, art near. When rising floods my soul o’erflow, When sinks my heart in waves of woe, Jesu, Thy timely aid impart, And raise my head, and cheer my heart. Savior, where’er Thy steps I see, Dauntless, untired, I follow thee! O let Thy hand support me still, And lead me to Thy holy hill! If rough and thorny be the way, My strength proportion to my day; Till toil, and grief, and pain shall cease, Where all is calm, and joy, and peace.

• [Psa 139:12] Peacefully Round Us The Shadows Are Falling

  Peacefully round us the shadows are falling, Glad be our praises and trustful our prayer; Hear us, O Lord, on Thy providence calling, Lighten our darkness, and banish our care. Hushed are the sheep bells afar on the moorland, O’er the still meadows the night breezes sweep, Faint fall the footsteps in city and hamlet, Safely the children are folded in sleep. Softly may weary ones rest from their duty, Bright be the dreams of the troubled and worn, While through the shades beam the stars in their beauty, Watching the world till the breaking of morn. Lord of the night, let Thine angels defend us; Sunshine and gloom are alike unto Thee; Lord of the day, let Thy Spirit attend us, Bless us and keep us wherever we be.

• [Psa 139:13] O Lord, Life Is Sacred

  O Lord, life is sacred, a gift from above; Each person is worthy of honor and love. Your works are so marvelous, we’re wonderfully made; We each bear Your image, conception to grave. Your hands shaped and formed us before we took breath; You knit us together and clothed us with flesh. You give us our life and ordain all our days; Your works, Lord, are wonderful; we lift our hearts in praise. Upheld since conception and carried since birth, To old age and hair of gray, we’re still of great worth. We still bear Your likeness, the stamp of Your hand; You made us in Jesus for all the works you planned. And so, may we honor each person we meet; The kindness You’ve shown us, we wish to repeat From children to agèd—we’ll serve them in Your Name; As You honor us, O Lord, we pledge to do the same.

• [Psa 139:14] All That I Am I Owe To Thee

  All that I am I owe to Thee, Thy wisdom, Lord, has fashioned me; I give my Maker thankful praise, Whose wondrous works my soul amaze. Ere into being I was brought, Thine eye did see, and in Thy thought My life in all its perfect plan Was ordered ere my days began. Thy thoughts, O God, how manifold, More precious unto me than gold! I muse on their infinity, Awaking I am still with Thee. The wicked Thou shalt surely slay, From me let sinners turn away; They speak against the Name divine, I count God’s enemies as mine. Search me, O God, my heart discern, Try me, my inmost thought to learn; And lead me, if in sin I stray, To choose the everlasting way.

• [Psa 139:14] My God, How Wonderful You Are

  My God, how wonderful Thou art, Thy majesty, how bright; How beautiful Thy mercy seat In depths of burning light! How dread are Thy eternal years, O everlasting Lord, By prostrate spirits day and night Incessantly adored! How wonderful, how beautiful, The sight of Thee must be; Thy endless wisdom, boundless power, And glorious purity! O how I fear Thee, living God, With deep and tender fear; And worship Thee with trembling hope, And penitential tears! Yet, I may love Thee, too, O Lord, Almighty as Thou art; For Thou hast stooped to ask of me The love of my poor heart! No earthly father loves like Thee, No mother, e’er so mild, Bears and forbears as Thou hast done, With me, Thy sinful child. Only to sit and think of God, Oh, what a joy it is! To think the thought, to breathe the Name, Earth has no higher bliss. Father of Jesus, love’s Reward! What rapture it will be Prostrate before Thy throne to lie, And gaze, and gaze on Thee!

• [Psa 139:15] Song Of Life

  Not in darkness nor in mystery, No depth of heart or mind, Nowhere in heav’n or earth or hell Can I run and Thou not find; Transcendent thoughts too deep for me Surround on every side. Thy mighty wisdom, O my God, Moves ocean, wind and tide. With skillful and with hidden hand Thou workest in the womb, And there, in dark and tiny space, Makest unseen life to bloom. Fashioned fearfully and wonderf’ly, Thy knowledge to display, Thine image bearer grows in night Which is to Thee as day. How I love Thy wisdom and Thy thoughts Unnumbered as the sands. I joy that all my earthly trials Are written by Thy hands. And I trust that strong benevolence That never leaves my side— Thy holy, gracious presence is My treasure and my guide.
