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 form'd within;

And ere my lips pronounce the word,

Thou knowest all I mean.



O let Thine arms surround me still,

And like a bulwark prove,

To guard my soul from every ill,

Secur'd by sov'reign love.
