HYMN 3. On the Immensity and Omniscience of GOD.
1
Thy Knowledge, Lord, is infinite,there's nothing hid from Thee;
Thou seest i'th' Dark as in the Light,
our Thoughts before thee be.
2
From sight of thy All-seeing Eye,O whither can we go!
In all dark Places thou dost pry,
thine Eyes walk to and fro.
3
Thro' the whole Earth, where can we hide?O! whither can we fly?
Lord, from thy Presence; for thou art
far off, and also nigh!
8
4
Shall we to Heaven mount aloft,lo, Thou art present there?
Or, if we should go down to Hell,
ev'n there thou dost appear?
5
Yea, should we take us morning Wingsand dwell beyond the Sea,
There would thy Hand have hold on us,
and quickly with 'us be?
6
Nay, if we say, The Darkness shallshroud us, Lord, from thy Sight,
Alass! the thickest Darkness is
to Thee, like to the Light?
7
Yea, Darkness hideth not from Thee,but Night doth shine as Day:
Let's Praise Thee then both Day and Night,
and sing to Thee alway!
