O Lord, I am not proud of heart, Nor cast a scornful eye

Verse 1

O LORD, I am not proud of heart, Nor cast a scornfully eye; Nor my aspiring thoughts employ in things for me too high.

Verse 2

With infant innocence Thou know'st I have myself demeaned; composed to quiet, like a babe that from the breast is weaned.

Verse 3

Like me, let Israel hope in God, His aid alone implore: Both now and ever trust in Him, who lives forevermore.
