Lyics

O thou that hearest prayer,

Attend our humble cry,

And let thy servants share

Thy blessings from on high:

We plead the promise of thy word;

Grant us thy Holy Spirit, Lord.



If earthly parents hear

Their children when they cry, --

If they, with love sincere,

Their varied wants supply, --

Much more wilt thou thy love display,

And answer when thy children pray.
