Words to Hymns
O God you search me and you know me
O God, you search me and you know me.
All my thoughts lie open to your gaze.
When I walk or lie down you are before me:
ever the maker and keeper of my days. Verse
You know my resting and my rising.
You discern my purpose from afar,
and with love everlasting you besiege me:
in every moment of life or death, you are.
Before a word is on my tongue, Lord,
you have known its meaning through and through.
You are with me beyond my understanding:
God of my present, my past and future, too.
Although your Spirit is upon me,
still I search for shelter from your light.
There is nowhere on earth I can escape you:
even the darkness is radiant in your sight.
For you created me and shaped me,
gave me life within my mother's womb.
For the wonder of who I am, I praise you:
safe in your hands, all creation is made new.
Bernadette Farrell (b. 1957) based on psalm 139

God is working His purpose out
God is working His purpose out As year succeeds to year;
God is working his purpose out, And the time is drawing near;
Nearer and nearer draws the time, The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled With the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
What can we do to work God’s work, To prosper and increase
The brotherhood of all mankind, The reign of the Prince of Peace?
What can we do to hasten the time,The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled With the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
March we forth in the strength of God, With the banner of Christ unfurled,
That the light of the glorious Gospel of truth May shine throughout the world;
Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin To set their captives free,
That the earth may be filled With the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
All we can do is nothing worth Unless God blesses the deed;
Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide Till God gives life to the seed;
Yet near and nearer draws the time, The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled With the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
