O Lord, You Have Searched Me
Awake, My Soul, and with the Sun
Author: Thomas Ken Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 891 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth and joyful rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.
2 In conversation be sincere;
Keep conscience as the noon-tide clear;
Think how all-seeing God thy ways
And all thy secret thought surveys.
3 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew;
Disperse my sins as morning dew;
Guard my first springs of thought and will,
And with Thyself my spirit fill.
4 Direct, control, suggest, this day,
All I design or do or say
That all my powers, with all their might,
In Thy sole glory may unite.
Amen. Topics: Worship Morning Used With Tune: MORNING HYMN

O Love that wilt not let me go
Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 679 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:6-12 Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain
that morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee:
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be.

I Bow My Forehead to the Dust
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:9-10 Lyrics: 1 I bow my forehead to the dust,
I veil mine eyes for shame,
And urge, in trembling self-distrust,
A prayer without a claim.
No offering of mine own I have,
No works my faith to prove;
I can but give the gifts He gave,
And plead His love for love.
2 I know not what the future hath
Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.
And so beside the silent sea
I wait the muffled oar:
No harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.
3 I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.
And Thou, O Lord, by whom are seen
Thy creatures as they be,
Forgive me if too close I lean
My human heart on Thee.
Amen. Topics: Faith; God Love and Fatherhood; Humility; Penitence; Trust; God the Father His Love and Fatherhood Used With Tune: PENTATONE
