Are vain desires within my heart?

1

Are vain desires within my heart?Search, gracious God, and see;Or do I act a haughty part?Lord, I appeal to thee.

2

I charge my thoughts, be humble still,And all my carriage mild,Content, my Father, with thy will,And quiet as a child.

3

The patient soul, the lowly mind,Shall have a large reward;Let saints in sorrow be resigned,And trust a faithful Lord.
