Thou, Lord, by strictest search hast known

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #P.X (1789) Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, by strictest search hast known My rising up and lying down; My secret thoughts are known to thee, Known long before conceiv'd by me. 2 Thine eye my bed and paths surveys, My publick haunts and private ways; Thou know'st what 'tis my lips would vent, My yet unutter'd words' intent. 3 Surrounded by thy pow'r I stand; On ev'ry side I find thy hand. O skill, for human reach too high! Too dazzling bright for mortal eye! 4 Let me acknowledge, too, O God, That since this maze of life I trod, Thy thoughts of love to me surmount The pow'r of numbers to recount: 5 Far sooner could I reckon o'er The sands upon the ocean's shore: Each morn, revising what I've done, I find th' account but new begun. 6 Search, try, O God, my thoughts and heart, If mischief lurks in any part; Correct me where I go astray, And guide me in thy perfect way.

Hymnal: Hymnal #52 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, by strictest search hast known My rising up and lying down; My secret thoughts are known to Thee, Known long before conceived by me. 2 From Thy all-seeing Spirit, Lord, What hiding-place does earth afford? O where can I Thy influence shun, Or whither from Thy presence run? 3 The veil of night is no disguise, No screen from thy all-searching eyes; Through midnight shades Thou find'st thy way, As in the blazing noon of day. 4 Search, try, O God, my thoughts and heart, If mischief lurk in any part; Correct me where I go astray, And guide me in Thy perfect way.
