Lyics

What tho' earthly friends may frown,

Why should I dejected be?

Father, let thy will be known,

Let me find my all in thee.

Never let my soul despair,

God will hear the orphan's prayer;

God will hear, God will hear,

God will hear the orphan's prayer.



Sorrow's child I long have been,

Often for unkindness mourned;

Friendless orphan, poor and mean,

By the proud and wealthy scorned,

Still to God will I repair,

God will hear the orphan's prayer;

God will hear,

God will hear the orphan's prayer.
