Omnipresence of God

Verse 1

Father of spirits, natures's God, Our inmost thoughts are known to thee; Thou, Lord, canst hear each idle word, And every private action see.

Verse 2

Could we, on morning's swiftest wings, Pursue our flight through trackless air, Or dive beneath deep ocean's springs, Thy presence still would meet us there.

Verse 3

In vain may guilt attempt to fly, Concealed beneath the pall of night; One glance from thy all-piercing eye Can kindle darkness into light.

Verse 4

Search thou our hearts, and there destroy Each evil thought, each secret sin, And fit us for those realms of joy, Where nought impure shall enter in.
