Childlike Communings

Tune: Old Hundredth

(\'All people that on earth do dwell\')

Psalm 131

*********

LORD, see my heart, it not haughty

An my eyes they not be lofty

I have not made it my concern

To take on things too hard to learn

 

Nor do I take up things to high

For me to understand, espy

Surely I have behaved myself

As a little child, this my wealth

 

Like a weaned child e\'en is my soul

Trusting you, you will make me whole

Let Israel hope, all God\'s people

In the LORD e\'er and on Him call

 

Give us wisdom, simplicity

Not burdened in complexity

But simple servants, lovingly

Guide us through all eternity
