LyicsLord, thou has formed mine every part,
Mine inmost thought in known to thee;
Each word, each feeling of my heart,
Thine ear doth hear, thine eye doth see.
Though I should seek the shades of night.
And hide myself in guilty fear,
To thee the darkness seems as light,
The midnight as the noonday clear.
The heavens, the earth, the sea, the sky,
All own thee ever present there;
Where'er I turn, thou still art nigh,
Thy Spirit dwelling everywhere.
O may that Spirit, ever blest,
Upon my soul in radiance shine,
Till, welcomed to eternal rest,
I taste thy presence, Lord divine!
