Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.300 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 131 First Line: Is there ambition in my heart? Lyrics:
Is there ambition in my heart?.
Search, gracious God, and see;
Or do I act a haughty part?
Lord, I appeal to thee.
I charge my thoughts, be humble still,
And all my carriage mild,
Content, my Father, with thy will,
And quiet as a child.
The patient soul, the lowly mind,
Shall have a large reward:
Let saints in sorrow lie resigned,
And trust a faithful Lord.
