The Divine Search-Light

By Eliza H. Morton

Ps. 139:23, 24

By Eliza H. Morton
SEARCH me, O God, and know my heart. My need is great. Try me, and prove my inmost soul, For Thee I wait.
With friends afar and lights gone out, I stand alone, And plead with Thee, an erring child Before Thy throne.
In shame I hide my face and weep. Mistakes abound; The poison root of sin within My heart is found.
Thy search-light, Lord, O turn on me, And test each thought. Let all my acts be nobly true, In meekness wrought;
O lead me out of self to Thee, Reveal Thy love, Forgive, and teach me to forgive, O God above.
