Trinity Hymnal ‎#455

455. Searcher of hearts, from mine erase

1 Searcher of hearts, from mine erase,
All thoughts that should not be,
And in its deep recesses trace
My gratitude to thee.

2 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.

3 Giver of all — for ev'ry good
In the Redeemer came —
For raiment, shelter, and for food,
I thank thee in his Name.

4 Father and Son and Holy Ghost,
Thou glorious Three in One,
Thou knowest best what I need most,
And let thy will be done.

Amen.
