What anxious fears and jealousies? What crowds in doubtful light appear? How few, alas, approv'd and clear? 2 And what am I?—My soul, awake, And an impartial survey take; Does no dark sign, no ground of fear, In practice or in heart appear? 3 What image does my spirit bear? Is Jesus form'd and living there? Say, do his lineaments divine In thought, and word, and action shine? 4 Searcher of hearts, O search me still; The secrets of my soul reveal; My fears remove; let me appear To God, and my own conscience clear. 5 Scatter the clouds, that o'er my head Thick glooms of dubious terrors spread; Lead me into celestial day, And, to myself, myself display. 6 May I at that bless'd world arrive, Where Christ thro' all my soul shall live, And give full proof that he is there, Without one gloomy doubt or fear!

Shepherds saw the wondrous sight, heard the angels singing; all the plains were lit that night; all the hills were ringing. 3 Gentle Mary laid her child lowly in a manger; he is still the undefiled, but no more a stranger.
