702 Lord, thou hast searched me and dost know

1 Lord, thou hast searched me, and dost know where'er I rest, where'er I go; thou knowest all that I have planned, and all my ways are in thy hand.

2 My words from thee I cannot hide; I feel thy power on every side; oh, wondrous knowledge, awful might, unfathomed depth, unmeasured height!

3 Where can I go apart from thee, or whither from thy presence flee? In heaven? It is thy dwelling fair; in death's abode? Lo, thou art there.

4 If I the wings of morning take, and far away my dwelling make, the hand that leadeth me is thine, and my support thy power divine.

5 If deepest darkness cover me, the darkness hideth not from thee; to thee both night and day are bright, the darkness shineth as the light.
