The New Christian Hymnal ‎#354

354. Searcher of Hearts

1. Searcher of hearts, from mine erase
All tho'ts that should not be,
And in its deep recesses trace
My gratitude to Thee.

2. Hearer of prayer, O guide aright
Each word and deed of mine;
Life's battle teach me how to fight,
And be the vict'ry Thine.

3. Giver of all--for ev'ry good
In the Redeemer came--
For raiment, shelter, and for food,
I thank Thee in His Name.

4. Father, and Son, and Holy Ghost,
Thou glorious Three in One,
Thou knowest best what I need most,
And let Thy will be done.
