The Lord, who truly knows

Verse 1

The Lord, who truly knows The heart of every saint, Invites us by His holy word To pray and never faint.

Verse 2

He bows His gracious ear; We never plead in vain; Yet we must wait till He appear, And pray, and pray again.

Verse 3

Though unbelief suggest, Why should we longer wait? He bids us never give Him rest, But be importunate.

Verse 4

Then let us earnest be, And never faint in prayer; He loves our importunity, And makes our cause His care.

Verse 5

Amen.
