O Thou who hearest prayer, Give ear unto our cry

Verse 1

O thou who hearest prayer, Attend our humble cry, And let thy servants share Thy blessing from on high We plead the promise of thy word, Grant us thy Holy Spirit, Lord!

Verse 2

If earthly parents hear Their children when they cry, If they with love sincere Their children's wants supply, Much more wilt thou thy love display, And answer when thy children pray.

Verse 3

Our heavenly Father, thou, We, children of thy grace, O let thy Spirit now Descend and fill the place, That all may feel the heavenly flame, And all unite to praise thy name.

Verse 4

Amen.
