1.Searcher of hearts, before thy face
I all my soul display
and conscious of its innate arts
entreat thy strict survey

2.If lurking in its inmost folds
I any sin conceal
O let a ray of light divine
the secret guile reveal

3.If tinctured with that od'ous gall
unknowing I remain
let grace, like a pure silver stream,
wash out the cursed stain

4.If in these fatal fetters bound
a wretched slave I be
smite off my chains, and wake my soul
to light and liberty

5.To humble penitence and prayer
thy gentle pity deal
speak ample pardon to my heart
its claim to heaven seal
