Search Me, O Lord

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 139:23-24

Verse 1

Search me, O Lord, and try this heart of mine, Search me, and prove if I indeed am Thine. Test by Thy Word, that never changed can be, My strength of hope and living faith in Thee.

Verse 2

Search me, O Lord, subdue each vain desire, And in my soul a deeper love inspire. Hide Thou my life, that I, supremely blest, Beneath Thy wings in perfect peace may rest.

Verse 3

Search me, O Lord, and from the dross of sin, Refine as gold, and keep me pure within. Search Thou my thoughts whose springs Thine eyes can see; From secret faults, O Savior, cleanse Thou me.

Verse 4

Search me, O Lord, let faith through grace divine Thyself reflect in every act of mine, Till at Thy call my waiting soul shall rise; Caught up with joy, to meet Thee whom I prize. Amen.
