Sovereign Searcher

"The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: He turneth it whithersoever He will. Every way of man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.... A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, He directeth his way" (Proverbs 21:1,2,29).

The heart of the king is in the Lord's hand,
To turn it wherever He will.
Whether or not the kings understand,
His purpose they'll surely fulfill.

And God is the searcher of each of our hearts;
The meek will He teach by His grace.
How sweet is the peace that surrender imparts!
How bitter the proud, hardened face!
