57a. Self-examination; or, Evidence of grace

1 Judge me, O Lord, and prove my ways,
And try my reins, and try my heart;
My faith upon thy promise stays,
Nor from thy law my feet depart.

2 I hate to walk, I hate to sit,
With men of vanity and lies;
The scoffer and the hypocrite
Are the abhorrence of mine eyes.

3 Amongst thy saints will I appear
Array'd in robes of innocence;
But when I stand before thy bar,
The blood of Christ is my defence.

4 I love thy habitation Lord,
The temple where thine honors dwell;
There shall I hear thy holy word,
And there thy works of wonder tell.

5 Let not my soul be join'd at last
With men of treachery and blood,
Since I my days on earth have pass'd
Among the saints, and near my God.
