SEARCH O LORD

 

January 2.

Search me, O God, and know my heart:
  try me, and know my thoughts.  Psalms 139 23
 

Search, O Lord, and cleanse, and save us;

Heal us by thy power divine;

Burst the bonds that here enslaves us,

That we may be wholly thine.

 
An honest heart will expose itself to God's all searching eye,
 and desire to be examined as well as cleansed and comforted.
 
James Smith
