When I in secret curiously
Was fashion'd in the depths of earth,
From whence Thy pow'r hath brought me forth.
Before my time, my times for me
Determin'd were by Thy decree,
The tale of years and days I'd see,
Hours, moments, all were fix'd by Thee.
My God, how precious, sweet, and fair,
I see array'd before me there
The thoughts of wisdom of Thy heart,
