Scripture: Psalm 26

LORD, You Have Searched Me

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: Self-Examination First Line: LORD, you have searched me and you know Lyrics: 1 LORD, you have searched me and you know where'er I rest, where'er I go; you search my thoughts and know my plans, and all my ways are in your hands. 2 My words from you I cannot hide, you hem me in on ev'ry side; O wond'rous knowledge, awesome might, unfathomed depth, unmeasured height! 3 Where can I from your Spirit be? Where can I from your presence flee? In heav'n? it is your dwelling fair; in death's abode? lo, you are there. 4 If I the wings of morning take, and in the seas my dwelling make, e'en there your faithful hand shall lead, your right hand, LORD, is holding me. 5 If deepest darkness cover me, to you the darkness light shall be; if light about me be as night to you both night and day are bright. 6 Within the womb you knitted me so fearfully and wondrously; I give my maker thankful praise, whose wondrous works my soul amaze. 7 When in the depths my frame was wrought, your eye did see, and in your thought my life in all its perfect plan was ordered ere my days began. 8 Your thoughts, O God, how manifold, more precious unto me than gold! They number more than all the sand; awaking, still I'm in your hand. 9 Oh, that the wicked you would slay! From men of blood I turn away; they speak against the name divine, I count God's enemies as mine. 10 Do I not hate your haters, LORD? Those fighting you have I abhorred. I hate them all most fervently and count them as my enemies. 11 O search me, God, my heart discern, and try me, God, my thoughts to learn; and lead me, if in sin I stray, to choose the everlasting way. Scripture: Psalm 139 Used With Tune: WOODWORTH Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912; alt.; mod.

God, be merciful to me

Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 48 hymnals Topics: Self-Examination Lyrics: 1 God, be merciful to me, On thy grace I rest my plea; Plenteous in compassion thou, Blot out my transgressions now; Wash me, make me pure within, Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. 2 My transgressions I confess, Grief and guilt my soul oppress; I have sinned against thy grace And provoked thee to thy face; I confess thy judgment just, Speechless, I thy mercy trust. 3 I am evil, born in sin; Thou desirest truth within. Thou alone my Saviour art, Teach thy wisdom to my heart; Make me pure, thy grace bestow, Wash me whiter than the snow. 4 Broken, humbled to the dust By thy wrath and judgment just, Let my contrite heart rejoice And in gladness hear thy voice; From my sins O hide thy face, Blot them out in boundless grace. 5 Gracious God, my heart renew, Make my spirit right and true; Cast me not away from thee, Let thy Spirit dwell in me; Thy salvation's joy impart, Stedfast make my willing heart. 6 Sinners then shall learn from me And return, O God, to thee; Saviour, all my guilt remove, And my tongue shall sing thy love; Touch my silent lips, O Lord, And my mouth shall praise accord. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 51:1-15 Used With Tune: AJALON (REDHEAD NO. 76) Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Am I a soldier of the cross

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,012 hymnals Topics: Self-Examination Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A foll'wer of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies, On flow'ry beds of ease? While others fought to win the prize, And sail'd through bloody seas. 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thine armies shine In robes of vict'ry through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.
