139 (4) | Psalm 139 Version 4 (from v 14) | CM | |
WHEN I in awe and wonder stand My being to survey, I marvel, Lord, and own Thy hand, That formed my human clay. |
|||
2 | Thy hand my heart and soul possessed When unborn nature grew; Thy wisdom all my features traced, And all my members drew. |
||
3 | My life in awe and wonder stands The product of Thy skill; And hourly blessings from Thy hands Thy thoughts of love reveal. |
||
4 | Lord, when I count Thy mercies o’er, I’m humbled in surprise; Not all the sands that spread the shore To equal numbers rise. |
||
5 | These, on my heart, by night I keep, How kind, how dear to me! O may the hour of my last sleep Find all my thoughts with Thee. |

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
