[O that I could, in every place]

I have set God always before me, &c. —xvi. 9.

O that I could, in every place,
By faith behold Jehovah's face,
My strict Observer see;
Present my heart and reins to try,
And feel the influence of His eye
For ever fix'd on me!
Discerning Thee, my Saviour, stand
My Advocate at God's right hand,
I never shall remove;
I cannot fall, upheld by Thee,
Or sin against the majesty
Of omnipresent Love.
Now, Saviour, now appear, appear,
And let me always see Thee near,
And know as I am known:
My spirit to Thyself unite,
And bear me through a sea of light
To that eternal throne.
