Searcher of Hearts, from Mine Erase

Searcher of hearts

from mine erase

All thoughts that should not be

And in its deep re­cess­es trace

My gra­ti­tude to Thee.

Hearer of pray­er

O guide aright

Each word and deed of mine;

Life’s bat­tle teach me how to fight

And be the vic­to­ry Thine.

Giver of all—for ev­ery good

In the Re­deem­er came—

For rai­ment

shel­ter

and for food

I thank Thee in His name.

Father

and Son

and Ho­ly Ghost

Thou glo­ri­ous Three in One

Thou know­est best what I need most

And let Thy will be done.
