Tune: Sandys
('Teach me, my God and King')
Psalm 131
******
Lord, search my heart today
And lead me in your way
May my heart not be haughty, proud
But with your grace endowed
May my eyes not lofty
Nor I conceited be
Nor taken up with things too high
But with meek things here nigh
For some things sure they be
Too difficult for me
Or too profound to comprehend
For my ears to them lend
For what I am 'fore* you (*before)
That I am, it is true
No false pretence nor vanity
Can make a greater me
I have behaved quited
Myself, am contented
As a child of its mother weaned
Knowledge of you have gleaned
Hope in the Lord, people
Call on Him, one and all
Comforted, knowing He us knows
His wisdom He gives, shows
So may we grow in grace
Until we see Christ's face
Then all shall be known perfectly
With Him we ever be
