   1. If I take the wings of the morning, 
      fly away to an isle of the sea.
      Even there would Your eye behold me;
      Whither from your presence I flee?
   Refrain
      Where will I hide from Thee, O God;
      Whither, Lord, Whither will I flee?
      Search me and know all the thoughts of my heart,
      and ever will I sing praise to Thee.
   2. If I say, "I'll hide in the darkness;
      Let it be a concealment to me."
      Yet the night shall be light around me;
      Day and night are alike unto Thee.
   Refrain
   3. All your precious thoughts, could I count them,
      they would be as the grains of sand;
      and I know before I was fashioned,
      in Your book was my substance planned.
   Refrain
