Search me O God and know my heart,
See if there be a wrong in me;
And give to me a brand new start,
This is to You is my heart-felt plea.
Search me O God and know my heart,
If I’m in anyway at fault;
To me Your holy power impart,
Grant to me that I may repent.
Search me O God and know my heart,
If in me there is wickedness;
Let me not from your word depart,
Lead me by your own righteousness.
Search me O God and know my heart,
Bless me and fill me with Your love;
Give me to know your heavenly rest,
Alight upon me Holy Dove!
(Tune: Old Hundreth; Rimington; LM)
