Not in darkness nor in mystery, No depth of heart or mind, Nowhere in heav'n or earth or hell Can I run and Thou not find; Transcendent thoughts too deep for me Surround on every side. Thy mighty wisdom, O my God, Moves ocean, wind and tide. With skillful and with hidden hand Thou workest in the womb, And there, in dark and tiny space, Makest unseen life to bloom. Fashioned fearfully and wonderf'ly, Thy knowledge to display, Thine image bearer grows in night Which is to Thee as day. How I love Thy wisdom and Thy thoughts Unnumbered as the sands. I joy that all my earthly trials Are written by Thy hands. And I trust that strong benevolence That never leaves my side? Thy holy, gracious presence is My treasure and my guide.
