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 vict’ry Thine.
Giver of all—for ev’ry 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.
Words: George P. Morris, 1838.
The Happy Wonderer ~ ellen b. 
Hark! What blooms there? Don’t tell me that that is snow in the background.
Wonderful hymn. New to me.
That hymn is new to me also, but what wonderful words!
