Be Thou My Judge, O Righteous Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Be Thou my Judge, O righteous Lord, Try Thou mine inmost heart; I walk with steadfast trust in Thee, Nor from Thy ways depart. 2. O search me, Lord, and prove me now; Thy mercy I adore; I choose Thy truth to be my guide, And sinful ways abhor. 3. My hands I wash in innocence And seek Thine altar, Lord, That there I may with thankful voice Thy wondrous ways record. 4. The habitation of Thy house Is ever my delight; The place where dwells Thy glory, Lord, Is lovely in my sight. 5. Let not the judgment fall on me For evil men decreed, For cruel men and violent, Inspired by bribes and greed. 6.
