Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 111 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 131 Lyrics:
Lord, for ever at thy side
Let my place and portion be:
Strip me of the robe of pride,
Clothe me with humility.
Meekly may my soul receive,
All thy Spirit hath revealed;
Thou hast spoken; I believe,
Though the oracle be sealed.
Humble as a little child,
Weanèd from the mother's breast,
By no subtleties beguiled,
On thy faithful word I rest.
Israel now and evermore,
In the Lord Jehovah trust;
Him, in all his ways, adore,
Wise, and wonderful, and just.
Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, Three in One!
Glory, as of old, to thee,
Now and evermore shall be.
Amen.
