God of Love, Who Hearest Prayer

Verse 1

God of love, that hearest prayer, Kindly for Thy people care Who on Thee alone depend; Love us, save us to the end.

Verse 2

Save us in the prosperous hour From the flattering tempter’s power, From his unsuspected wiles, From the world’s pernicious smiles.

Verse 3

Men of worldly, low design, Let not these Thy people join, Poison our simplicity, Drag us from our trust in Thee.

Verse 4

Save us from the great and wise, Till they sink in their own eyes Tamely to Thy yoke submit, Lay their honors at Thy feet.

Verse 5

Never let the world break in, Fix a mighty gulf between; Keep us little and unknown, Prized and loved by God alone.

Verse 6

Amen.
