Tune: Capetown
('Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost')
*********
Search my heart this day I pray
Lord, and see if any way
Displeasing to you, forgive
And so I shall live
Preparing for your return
Help us live and love and learn
Ever near the day draws near
When you shall appear
Bringing reign of justice true
By your grace make all anew
Peace and mildness, harmony
We shall fully see
Light our way, light of the world
Your will to us be unfurled
You seeking us, we seeking you
That will for to do
Help unto the penitent
You have given, you have sent
Christ your Son us to redeem
Dayspring's saving beam
Meditate a while heart, still
Mind from troubled thoughts and ill
Peace pervade, find your rest full
In the Lord of all
'Til it seen that you sure reign
End of mourning, weeping, pain
Death no more, earth's vale of tears
Final[ly] disappears
