Judge me, O Lord, and prove my ways

Hymnal: DWIP1790 #60 (1790) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 26 Lyrics: 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 With hands well wash'd in 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 past Among the saints and near my God.
