PSALM CXXXI.
[Lord, if Thou the grace impart]
Lord, if Thou the grace impart,
Poor in spirit, meek in heart,
I shall as my Master be,
Rooted in humility.
Poor in spirit, meek in heart,
I shall as my Master be,
Rooted in humility.
From the time that Thee I know,
Nothing shall I seek below,
Aim at nothing great or high,
Lowly both my heart and eye.
Nothing shall I seek below,
Aim at nothing great or high,
Lowly both my heart and eye.
Simple, teachable, and mild,
Awed into a little child,
Quiet now without my food,
Wean'd from every creature-good.
Awed into a little child,
Quiet now without my food,
Wean'd from every creature-good.
Hangs my new-born soul on Thee,
Kept from all idolatry,
Nothing wants beneath, above,
Happy, happy in Thy love!
Kept from all idolatry,
Nothing wants beneath, above,
Happy, happy in Thy love!
O that all might seek and find
Every good in Jesus join'd!
Him let Israel still adore,
Trust Him, praise Him evermore!
Every good in Jesus join'd!
Him let Israel still adore,
Trust Him, praise Him evermore!
