Lyics

LORD, all I am is known to thee;
In vain my soul would try
To shun thy presence, or to flee
The notice of thine eye.


Thy all-observing eye surveys
My rising and my rest,
My public walks, my private ways,
The secrets of my breast.


My thoughts lie open to thee, Lord,
Before they're formed within;
And ere my lips pronounce the word,
Thou knowest all I mean.


O let thy grace surround me still,
And like a bulwark prove,
To guard my soul from every ill,
Secured by sovereign love.
