[Thou, even Thou alone]
Thou, even Thou only, knowest the
hearts of all the children of men.
1 Kings viii. 39.
All the churches shall know that I am He which searcheth the reins and hearts.
Revelation ii. 23.
Thou, even Thou alone,
O God by nature One,
Infinite in wisdom art,
Jesus to Thy Father join'd
Searcher of the reins and heart,
Know'st the hearts of all mankind.
By this Thy churches know
Their God reveal'd below,
Sure that Thou, O Christ, art He,
God supreme in glorious grace;
Fulness of the Deity
Thee Thy saints for ever praise.
