Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

When I was made in secret
Your eyes beheld my form.
Yea, O Lord, You knew my soul.
Before I was born.
With loving hands and patient care
And wisest thoughts you knit
Each organ and each miracle
Of life – each one perfect.
My brain was made to think of You,
My ears to hear Your voice,
My eyes to see Your glory,
My heart to make a choice,
My hands to serve You only,
My mouth to talk of You,
And on throughout my body -
Each part Your will to do.
How perfect, Lord, Your wisdom
So, thus I will praise Thee.
Though all the universe is Thine
Thou choose to design me!
Yea, I will praise You all my days
Proclaiming Your great work.
And tell to others, one by one,
Your creation in birth.
