Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #482 (1917) Hymnal Title: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book Lyrics: 1 Try us, O God, and search the ground
Of every sinful heart;
Whate'er of sin in us is found,
O bid it all depart!
2 When to the right or left we stray,
Leave us not comfortless;
But guide our feet into the way
Of everlasting peace.
3 Help us to help each other, Lord,
Each other's cross to bear;
Let each his friendly aid afford,
And feel his brother's care.
4 Help us to build each other up,
Our little stock improve;
Increase our faith, confirm our hope,
And perfect us in love.
5 Up into Thee, our living Head,
Let us in all things grow,
Till Thou hast made us free indeed,
And spotless here below. Topics: Christ Head; Christ Head; Burdens, bearing one another's; Christian Unity; The Christian Life The Inner Life; Unity, Christian ; Heart Sinful Languages: English Tune Title: JAZER
