7.7.7.7 James Montgomery Prayer for Humility. -- Ps. cxxxi. Lord, for ever at Thy side, Let my place and portion be; Strip me of the robe of pride, Clothe me with humility. Meekly may my soul receive All Thy Spirit hath reveal'd, Thou hast spoken; -- I believe Though the prophecy were seal'd. Quiet as a weanèd child, Weanèd from the mother's breast, By no subtlety beguiled, On thy faithful word I rest. Saints! rejoicing evermore, In the Lord Jehovah trust; Him in all his ways adore, Wise, and wonderful, and just. |
