Lyics

O 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.
