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.
