All that I am I owe to Thee;
Thy wis-dom, Lord, has fash-ioned me.
I give my Mak-er thank-ful praise,
Whose won-drous works my soul a-maze.
Ere in-to be-ing I was brought,
Thine eye did see, and in Thy thought
My life in all its per-fect plan
Was or-dered ere my days be-gan.
Thy thoughts, O God, how man-i-fold,
More pre-cious un-to me than gold!
I muse on their in-fin-i-ty,
A-wak-ing I am still with Thee.
The wick-ed Thou wilt sure-ly slay;
From me let sin-ners turn a-way.
They speak a-gainst the name di-vine;
I count God's en-e-mies as mine.
Search me, O God, my heart dis-cern;
Try me, my in-most thought to learn;
And lead me, if in sin I stray,
To choose the ev-er-last-ing way.
