SEARCH ME O LORD.

Search me, O Lord! and try this heart of mine.

Search me and prove if I indeed am Thine.

Test by Your Word, that never changed can be,

My strength of hope and living faith in Thee.

Search me, O Lord! subdue each vain desire,

And in my soul a deeper love inspire.

Hide Thine my life, that I, supremely blest,

Beneath Your wings in perfect peace may rest.

Search me, O Lord! and from the dross of sin,

Refine as gold and keep me pure within.

Search You my thoughts, whose springs Thine eyes can see:

From secret faults, O Saviour, cleanse You me:

Search me, O Lord! let faith through grace Divine

Yourself reflect in every act of mine.

Till at Your call my waiting soul shall rise,

Caught up with joy to meet You in the Air.
