The darkness shineth as the light,
Search, prove my heart; it pants for thee;
O burst these bands and set it free.
2 Wash out its stains, refine its dross;
Nail my affections to the cross;
Hallow each thought; let all within
Be clean, as thou, my Lord, art clean.
3 If in this dark-some wild I stray,
Be thou my Light, be thou my Way;
No foes, no violence I fear,
No harm, while thou, my God, art near.
4 Saviour, where'er thy steps I see,
Dauntless, untired, I follow thee:
O let thy hand support me still,
And lead me to thy holy hill.
5 If rough and thorny be my way,
My strength proportion to my day;
Till toil and grief and pain shall cease
Where all is calm and joy and peace.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life God's Refreshing Grace; Discipleship; God All-seeing; Grace Refreshing; Heart Searched; Longing for Christ and God; Supplication For Sanctification Scripture: Psalm 139:12 Languages: English Tune Title: BERA
