THy Knowledge, Lord, is infinite,
there's nothing hid from Thee;
Thou seest i'th' Dark as in the Light,
our Thoughts before thee be.

2 From sight of thy All-seeing Eye,
O whither can we go!
In all dark Places thou dost pry,
thine Eyes walk to and fro.

3 Thro' the whole Earth, where can we hide?
O! whither can we fly?
Lord, from thy Presence; for thou art
far off, and also nigh!

4 Shall we to Heaven mount aloft,
lo, Thou art present there?
Or, if we should go down to Hell,
ev'n there thou dost appear?

5 Yea, should we take us morning Wings
and dwell beyond the Sea,
There would thy Hand have hold on us,
and quickly with us be?

6 Nay, if we say, The Darkness shall
shroud us, Lord, from thy Sight,
Alass! the thickest Darkness is
to Thee, like to the Light?

7 Yea, Darkness hideth not from Thee,
but Night doth shine as Day:
Let's Praise Thee then both Day and Night,
and sing to Thee alway!
