Tune: Melita
(\'Eternal Father, strong to save\')
*********
Come search my heart, O Lord today
Help me to humbly watch and pray
To see your purposes fulfilled
That they be each as you have willed
And that your kingdom still may come
Through us may your good will be done
Give peace in world\'s storm, troubled lands
Oppressed sore here by evil hands
Show your great sovereignty here
Until your Son again appear
Then shall you be seen sure to reign
End of death, crying, mourning, pain
Till then grant patience, calm our fears
While living in this vale of tears
Yet comforted by your presence
We go forth, resting in you hence
To share your salvation with all
Which avails to who on you call
Life eternal, you have promised
Grant us turn to you, not resist
Forgiveness can be found in you
You only God, and only true
Your Son for us has made a way
That we may share in wondrous day
Along the journey, Spirit sure
Do guide us, lead us, evermore
And find our hearts a welcome place
Where you may reside by your grace
Changed more into Christ\'s image by
Your Spirit who can never die
An anchor for our souls have we
Sufficient Christ\'s work for us be
Who lived and died and rose again
To bring salvation to all men (mankind)
O keep us till e\'erlasting light
Shall dawn perpetual on our sight
