LyicsO THOU that hearest pray'r,
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 childen pray.
Our Heav'nly Father, Thou!
We, children of Thy grace;
O grant Thy Spirit now
To fill this sacred place;
So shall we feel the heav'nly flame,
And all unite to praise Thy name.
