SELF-EXAMINATION

By The Churchman

When shadows of the night surround My solitary hours, O Lord; And hushed is every earthly sound, I seek the comforts of thy word.
Each secret thought is known to thee; Naught can escape thy searching sight; Thou dwellest in eternity; With thee the darkness is as light.
Alone with thee, I would confess My fault, and aid from thee implore; My heart is weak, and, in distress, I seek thy image to restore.
Visit my heart and make it pure, Pardon my sin, remove its stain; With heavenly hopes my soul allure, And draw me to thy side again.
So shall I, strengthened by thy grace, Be filled with love for things divine; E’en in this hour behold thy face, And find a gracious Saviour mine. —The Churchman.
