Humility and Submission
Isaac Watts • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 131
Verse 1
Is there ambition in my heart? Search, gracious God, and see; Or do I act a haughty part? Lord, I appeal to thee.
Verse 2
I charge my thoughts, be humble still, And all my carriage mild; Content, my Father, with thy will, And quiet as a child.
Verse 3
The patient soul, the lowly mind, Shall have a large reward; Let saints in sorrow lie resigned, And trust a faithful Lord.
