Humble-Hearted

Tune: Franconia

(\'Blest are the pure in heart\')

Psalm 131

*********

LORD, my heart not haughty

Nor my eyes lofty be

Neither do I exercise me

In things that too high be

 

Surely I have behaved

Humble, my soul not craved

Great things too wonderful to know

But simple things and low

 

I myself have quieted

You with your peace me led

As a child weaned of its mother

I am a meek brother (/sister)

 

So let Israel hope here

In the LORD, He be near

Hope from henceforth and evermore

In Him, your comfort sure
