101 Lord, Thou hast searched and seen us through
Words: Isaac Watts Music: Folliott S Pierrepont
5 Oh, may these thoughts possess each breast
Where'er we rove, where'er we rest;
And, since Thou dost Thy children see,
May we be holy like to Thee.
1 Lord, Thou has searched and seen us through;
Thine eye commands, with piercing view,
Our rising and our resting hours,
Our hearts and minds with all their powers.
2 Our thoughts, before they are our own,
Are all to Thee distinctly known:
Thou know'st the words we mean to speak
Ere from our opening lips they break.
3 Within Thy circling power we stand;
On every side we find Thy hand;
Awake, asleep, at home, abroad,
We are surrounded still by God.
4 Amazing knowledge, vast and great;
What large extent! what lofty height!
Our souls, with all the powers we boast,
Are in the boundless prospect lost.
