Hymn 257: Search me, O God, and Know

Verse 1

Search me, O God, and Know

my heart to-day;

Try me O, Lord, and know my 

thoughts I pray:

See if there be some wicked way in [me,

Cleanse me from ev’ry sin and set 

me free.


Verse 2

I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing 

me from sin;

Fulfil Thy Word, and make me pure [within;

Fill me with fire, where once I 

burned with shame

Grant my desire to magnify Thy [name,


Verse 3

Lord, take my life, and make it

wholly Thine;

Fill my poor heart with Thy great [love divine;

Take all my will, my passion, self

and pride;

I now surrender Lord, in me [abide.


Verse 4

O Holy Ghost, revival comes from [me:

Thee;

Send a revival the work in

Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply 

our need;

For blessing now, O Lord, I hum[bly plead,


Edwin Orr.
