LyicsWhat though 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 the orphan's prayer.
Sorrow's child I long have been,
Often for unkindness mourn'd;
Friendless orphan, poor and mean,
By the proud and wealthy scorn'd.
Still to God will I repair,
God will hear the orphan's prayer;
God will hear,
God will hear the orphan's prayer.
Earthly comforts fade and die,
Sorrows oft our joys attend;
But, if we on God rely,
He will prove a constant friend.
On him I'll cast ev'ry care,
He regards the orphan's prayer;
He regards,
He regards the orphan's prayer.
