Searcher and Savior of My Soul

John Henry Livingston (1814) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 119:9-16

Verse 1

Searcher and Savior of my soul, my Sun, my Shield, my sovereign Judge, all things are naked to thy view, my heart, my thoughts, my words, my ways.

Verse 2

Oft to thy Word my Soul repairs; thence I my highest comforts draw; though foes may fight and devils rage, if God be for me, all is well.

Verse 3

Sustain me then with promised grace, revive my heart, increase my faith: seal to my soul thy pardoning love, let strength be equal to my day.

Verse 4

Supremely wise and good and great; O! search my heart and try my ways. Thy work I love, thy judgments fear, and tremble while I pray and praise.
