Verse 1
Searcher of hearts, tis thine alone
Thine officers t’ ordain:
Point out thy instruments, unknown
To undiscerning man;
Our Apostolic Guides apprize
Of thine unseen decree,
And stir them up to recognize
The men design’d by Thee.
Verse 2
The men whom thou hast inly mov’d
Their charge to undertake,
And toil for precious souls, belov’d
For their Redeemer’s sake;
Thy chosen ministers reveal,
With whom Thou always art,
And then their saving gospel seal
On every listning heart.
