Testo Lord Thou Hast Seen My Soul Sincere

Lord, thou hast seen my soul sincere, Hast made thy truth and love appear; Before mine eyes I set thy laws, And thou hast owned my righteous cause. 2. Since I have learned thy holy ways, I've walked upright before thy face; Or if my feet did e'er depart, 'Twas never with a wicked heart. 3. What sore temptations broke my rest! What wars and strugglings in my breast! But through thy grace, that reigns within, I guard against my darling sin: 4. That sin which close besets me still, That works and strives against my will: When shall thy Spirit's sovereign power Destroy it, that it rise no more? 5. With an impartial hand, the Lord Deals out to mortals their reward; The kind and faithful souls shall find A God as faithful and as kind. 6. The just and pure shall ever say, Thou art more pure, more just than they; And men that love revenge shall know God hath an arm of vengeance too.
