God Heareth Prayer

Verse 1

Let not thy heart despair, Not be afraid; God heareth earnest pray’r, He giveth aid; He is thy Helper nigh, And will thy need supply; Then on His love rely, Calm, undismayed.

Verse 2

What tho’ misfortunes fall Part of thy lot; They cannot take thine all, God changeth not; Look up with hopeful glance, Be of glad countenance; Onward in faith advance, Sadness forgot.

Verse 3

This earth is not the home, Where thou shalt stay; Here constant changes come, Time speeds away; Yet when life’s transient gleam Fades like a passing dream, Brightly on thee will beam An endless day.
