Search Me, O God! My Actions Try
"I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings." - Jer 17:10
VERSE 1
Search me, O God! my actions try,
And let my life appear,
As seen by Thine all-searching eye
To mine my ways make clear.
VERSE 2
Search all my sense, and know my heart,
Who only canst make known,
And let the deep, the hidden part
To me be fully shown.
VERSE 3
Throw light into the darkened cells,
Where passion reigns within;
Quicken my conscience till it feels
The loathsomeness of sin.
VERSE 4
Search all my thoughts,
the secret springs,
The motives that control;
The chambers where polluted things
Hold empire o’er the soul.
VERSE 5
Search, till Thy fiery glance has cast
Its holy light through all,
And I by grace am brought at last
Before-Thy face to fall.
VERSE 6
Thus prostrate I shall learn of Thee,
What now I feebly prove,
That God alone in Christ can be
Unutterable love.
