137. Cleanse Me

1
Search me, O God, and know my heart today;
 
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray.
 
See if there be some wicked way in me;
 
Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free.
2
I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin.
 
Fulfill Thy Word and make me pure within.
 
Fill me with fire where once I burned with shame;
 
Grant my desire to magnify Thy name.
3
Lord, take my life and make it wholly Thine;
 
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine.
 
Take all my will, my passion, self, and pride;
 
I now surrender, Lord; in me abide.
