Page 267 - Fs. cxxxix. 23, 24. 1 O HEAR me, Lord ! to thee I call, And prostrate at thy footstool fall :. O Lord ! my prayer propitious hear, And bow to my requests thine ear. 2 Searcher of hearts ! my thoughts review ; With kind severity pursue, Through each disguise, thy servant's mind, Nor leave one stain of guilt behind. 3 To thee my inmost heart is known : Regard me from thy lofty throne ; Nor e'er to my desiring eye V Thy presence, heavenly Lord ! deny.
