Almighty God, thy piercing eye

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Divine and Moral Songs #HIX (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Almighty God, thy piercing eye Strikes through the shades of night, And our most secret actions lie All open to thy sight. There’s not a sin that we commit, Nor wicked word we say, But in thy dreadful book ‘tis writ Against the judgment–day. And must the crimes that I have done Be read and publish’d there; Be all exposed before the sun, While men and angels hear? 44 Lord, at thy feet ashamed I lie; Upward I dare not look: Pardon my sins before I die, And blot them from thy book. Remember all the dying pains That my Redeemer felt; And let his blood wash out my stains, And answer for my guilt. O may I now for ever fear T’ indulge a sinful thought, Since the great God can see and hear, And writes down ev’ry fault! Languages: English
