CXXXI. Humility and Submission

1 Is there ambition in my heart?
Search, gracious God, and see;
Or do I act a haughty part?
Lord, I appeal to thee.

2 I charge my tho'ts, be humble still,
And all my carriage mild;
Content, my Father, with thy will,
And peaceful as a child.

3 The patient soul, the lowly mind,
Shall have a large reward:
Let saints in sorrow lie resign'd,
And trust a faithful Lord.
