R. Wonderful your love, You made the world in beauty.
Wonderful your love, creation sings your praise.
1. You know all my thoughts, Lord ; search my inmost being.
You mark my paths.
You protect my resting, You attend my rising,
You discern my purpose from afar.
2. Wonderful this knowledge, far beyond my grasping,
Too high for me.
Where could I escape You, how could I avoid You ?
Your right hand will ever hold me sure.
3. On the wings of morning, past the ocean’s ending,
You are still there.
Though the darkness hide me, though the night conceal me,
Darkness is as clear as day to You.
4. You it was who formed me, fashioned me in secret,
Knew me of old.
You saw all my actions, traced them in your record,
Numberless and deep are your designs.
5. Search my heart, o Father, sound my deepest being,
Know all my thoughts.
Set me on your path, Lord, keep me from all evil ;
Lead me to eternal life with You.
