"Herr, dir ist nichts verborgen" (Lord, nothing is hidden from you) is a Catholic hymn by Maria Luise Thurmair, based on Psalm 139 and set to a 1582 melody by Kaspar Ulenberg.[1] The hymn in five stanzas of seven lines each was written in 1973. It appeared in the Catholic hymnal Gotteslob in 1975 as GL 292.[2] In the current Gotteslob, it is GL 428, in the section "Vertrauen und Trost" (Trust and consolation).[1]
It is one of the Psalmenlieder (psalm songs), which can be used in the Catholic liturgic instead of the psalm chant between the readings from the Old Testament and the New Testament.[2]
