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.
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.
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.
– J. Edwin Orr (1936); based on Psalm 51; 139:23-24
