Psalm 139 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.317 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Evening psalm First Line: In all my vast concerns with thee Lyrics: 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 noon, the midnight hour, Are both alike to thee O may I ne'er provoke that power From which I cannot flee. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English

Thy hand my heart and reins possessed Where unborn nature grew; Thy wisdom all my features traced, And all my members drew. Thine eye with nicest care surveyed The growth of every part; Till the whole scheme thy thoughts had laid Was copied by thy art. Heav'n, earth, and sea, and fire, and wind, Show me thy wondrous skill But I review myself, and find Diviner wonders still. Thy aweful glories round me shine, My flesh proclaims thy praise; Lord, to thy works of nature join Thy miracles of grace. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English

O may the hour that ends my sleep Still find my thoughts with thee! Scripture: Psalm 139:14 Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P141 (1766) Topics: Evening Psalm Lyrics: 1 My God, accept my early Vows, Like Morning Incense in thine House, And let my nightly Worship rise Sweet as the Ev'ning Sacrifice. 2 Watch o'er my Lips, and guard them, Lord, From ev'ry rash and heedless Word; Nor let my Feet incline to tread The guilty Path where Sinners lead. 3 O may the Righteous, when I stray, Smite, and reprove my wand'ring Way! Their gentle Words, like Ointment shed, Shall never bruise, but chear my Head. 4 When I behold them prest with Grief, I'll cry to Heav'n for their Relief; And by my warm Petitions prove How much I prize their faithful Love.

Hearing of Prayer, or GOD our Portion, and Christ our Hope

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #8b (1740) Topics: Evening Psalm First Line: O God of Grace and Righteousness Lyrics: 1 O GOD of Grace and Righteousness, Hear and attend when I complain: Thou hast enlarg'd me in Distress, Bow down a gracious Ear again. 2 Ye Sons of Men, in vain ye try To turn my Glory into Shame: How long will Scoffers love to lye, And dare reproach my Saviour's Name? 3 Know that the Lord divides his Saints From all the Tribes of Ken beside; He hears the Cry of Penitents, For the dear Sake of Christ that dy'd. 4 When our obedient Hands have done A Thousand Works of Righteousness, We put our Trust in GOD alone, And Glory in his pard'ning Grace. 5 Let the unthinking Many say, "Who will bestow some earthly Good?" But, Lord, thy Light and Love we pray; Our Souls desire this heavenly food. 6 Then shall my chearful Pow'rs rejoice, At Grace and Favour so divine, Nor will I change my happy Choice For all their Corn, and all their Wine.

O Lord, our God, how wond'rous great

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P8b (1766) Topics: Evening Psalm Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our God, how wond'rous great Is thine exalted Name! The Glories of thy heav'nly State Let Men and Babes proclaim. 2 When I behold thy Works on high, The Moon that rules the Night, And Stars that well adorn the Sky, Those moving Worlds of Light; 3 Lord, what is Man, or all his Race, Who dwells so far below, That thou shouldst visit him with Grace, And love his Nature so? 4 That thine eternal Son should bear To take a mortal Form, Made lower than his Angels are, To save a dying Worm. 5 [Yet while he liv'd on Earth unknown, And Men would not adore, Th' obedient Seas and Fishes own His Godhead and his Pow'r. 6 The Waves lay spread beneath his Feet, And Fish at his Command, Bring their large Shoals to Peter's Net, Bring Tribute to his Hand. 7 These lesser Glories of the Son Shone through the fleshly Cloud; Now we behold him on his Throne, And Men confess him GOD.] 8 Let him be crown'd with Majesty, Who bow'd his Head to Death; And be his Honours sounded high, By all Things that have Breath. 9 JESUS, our Lord, how wond'rous great Is thine exalted Name! The Glories of thy heav'nly State Let the whole Earth proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 8 Languages: English

Lord! thou hast search'd and seen me thro'

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #10 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Evening psalm Lyrics: Lord, thou hast searched and seen me through, Thine eye commands with piercing view My rising and my resting hours, My heart and flesh with all their powers. My thoughts, before they are my own, Are to my God distinctly known; He knows the words I mean to speak Ere from my op'ning lips they break. Within thy circling power I stand; On every side I find thy hand; Awake, asleep, at home, abroad, I am surrounded still with God. Amazing knowledge, vast and great! What large extent! what lofty height! My soul, with all the powers I boast, Is in the boundless prospect lost. O may these thoughts possess my breast, Where'er I rove, where'er I rest! Nor let my weaker passions dare Consent to sin, for God is there. Could I so false, so faithless prove, To quit thy service and thy love, Where, Lord, could I thy presence shun. Or from thy dreadful glory run? If up to heav'n I take my flight, 'Tis there thou dwell'st enthroned in light Or dive to hell, there vengeance reigns, And Satan groans beneath thy chains. If, mounted on a morning ray, I fly beyond the western sea, Thy swifter hand would first arrive, And there arrest thy fugitive. Or should I try to shun thy sight Beneath the spreading veil of night, One glance of thine, one piercing ray, Would kindle darkness into day. O may these thoughts possess my breast, Where'er I rove, where'er I rest! Nor let my weaker passions dare Consent to sin, for God is there. The veil of night is no disguise, No screen from thy all-searching eyes; Thy hand can seize thy foes as soon Through midnight shades as blazing noon. Midnight and noon in this agree, Great God, they're both alike to thee; Not death can hide what God will spy, And hell lies naked to his eye. O may these thoughts possess my breast, Where'er I rove, where'er I rest! Nor let my weaker passions dare Consent to sin, for God is there. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English
