Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled.

For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;

Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.

The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

The all-seeing God
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #246 (1786) Topics: Evidence of Sincerity; Grace its Evidence, or Self-Examination; Self Examination, or Evidences of Grace; Evidence of Sincerity; Grace its Evidence, or Self-Examination; Self Examination, or Evidences of Grace First Line: Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me thro' Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me thro';
Thine eye commands with piercing view
My rising and my resting hours,
My heart and flesh with all their powers.
2 My thoughts, before they are my own,
Are to my God distinctly known;
He knows the words I mean to speak
Ere from my opening lips they break.
3 Within thy circling power I stand,
On every side I find thy hand;
Awake, asleep, at home, abroad,
I am surrounded still with God.
4 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.
5 Oh may these thoughts possess my breast,
Where-e'er I rove, where-e'er I rest;
Nor let my weaker passions dare
Consent to sin, for God is there.
Pause I.
6 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?
7 If up to heaven I take my flight,
'Tis there thou dwell'st enthron'd in light;
Or dive to hell, there vengeance reigns,
And Satan groans beneath thy chains.
8 If mounted on a morning ray
I fly beyond the Western sea,
Thy swifter hand would first arrive,
And there arrest thy fugitive.
9 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.
10 Oh may these thoughts possess my breast,
Where-e'er I rove, where-e'er I rest;
Nor let my weaker passions dare
Consent to sin, for God is there.
Pause II.
11 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.
12 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.
13 Oh may these thoughts possess my breast,
Where-e'er I rove, where-e'er I rest!
Nor let my weaker passions dare
Consent to sin, for God is there.

The wonderful Formation of Man
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #247 (1786) Topics: Evidence of Sincerity; Grace its Evidence, or Self-Examination; Self Examination, or Evidences of Grace; Evidence of Sincerity; Grace its Evidence, or Self-Examination; Self Examination, or Evidences of Grace First Line: 'Twas from thy hand, my God, I came Lyrics: 1 'Twas from thy hand, my God, I came,
A work of such a curious frame;
In me thy fearful wonders shine,
And each proclaims thy skill divine.
2 Thine eyes could all my limbs survey,
Which yet in dark confusion lay:
Thou saw'st the daily growth they took,
Form'd by the model of thy book.
3 By thee my growing parts were nam'd,
And what thy sovereign counsels fram'd,
The breathing lungs, the beating heart,
Was copy'd with unerring art.
4 At last to shew my Maker's name,
God stamp'd his image on my frame,
And in some unknown moment join'd
The finish'd members of the mind.
5 There the young seeds of thought began
And all the passions of the man,
Great God, our infant nature pays
Immortal tribute to thy praise.
Pause.
6 Lord, since in my advancing age
I've acted on life's busy stage,
Thy thoughts of love to me surmount
The power of numbers to recount.
7 I could survey the ocean o'er,
And count each sand that makes the shore,
Before my swiftest thoughts could trace
The numerous wonders of thy grace.
8 These on my heart are still imprest,
With these I give my eyes to rest;
And at my waking hour I find
God and his love possess my mind. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English

Topics: Christian Evidences Love Author of "Our God is Love" in The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
