Humble-Hearted

Tune: Dominus Regit Me

(\'The King of love my Shepherd is\')

Psalm 131

********

A Psalm, a little one, meekly

I sing, Lord, hear what I pray

My heart is not proud, nor my eyes

Conceited, humble things espies

 

Nor do I myself exercise

In great matters, but low lies

My heart, things too high I not know

Things too difficult I not show

 

Surely I have behaved, quieted

Myself as a child, and fed

And weaned as of a mother mild

Thus is my soul, contently styled

 

Let Israel hope in the LORD sure

His help avails evermore

Hope in Him henceforth and for e\'er

With childlike faith, comforts share
