Hymn · Psalm 26
Integrity of Character
SOUTHWELL · S.M. · words from The Psalter, 1912 · music Daman's Psalter, 1579
1.Judge my integrity,
The righteous judge Thy art;
Prove me, O Lord, examine me.
And try my inmost heart.
2.Thy mercy and Thy grace
I love to contemplate;
Thy paths of truth my footsteps trace,
And wicked men I hate.
3.Clean hands, O Lord, I raise
As I Thy altars seek,
Where I may sing in grateful praise,
And of Thy wonders speak.
4.O Lord, thy house I love,
Where glory dwells within;
O keep my heart secure above
All fellowship with win.
5.Redeeming love and grace
Bestow, O Lord, on me;
Among Thy saints how blest my place,
Forever praising Thee.
