Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 15
Charles H. Spurgeon
Lord, I would dwell with Thee,
On Thy most holy hill:
Oh shed Thy grace abroad in me,
To mould me to Thy will.
2 Thy gate of pearl stands wide
For those who walk upright;
But those who basely turn aside
Thou chasest from Thy sight.
3 Oh tame my tongue to peace,
And tune my heart to love;
From all reproaches may I cease,
Made harmless as a dove.
4 The vile, though proudly great,
No flatterer find in me;
I count Thy saints of poor estate
Far nobler company.
5 Faithful, but meekly kind;
Gentle, yet boldly true;
I would possess the perfect mind
Which in my Lord I view.
6 But, Lord, these graces all
Thy Spirit's work must be;
To Thee, through Jesu's blood I call,
Create them all in me.
Charles H. Spurgeon, 1866.
