African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#553

553. Hear Us, Heavenly Father

1 Hear us, heavenly Father,
Thou whose gentle care
Tends the young and feeble,
Hear our simple prayer.
Hear our prayer, Father, hear.

2 Pardon our offenses;
Guard us from all ill;
Make us, like true children,
Love Thy holy will.
Hear our prayer, Father, hear.

3 Let not sin beguile us
From Thy paths to stray;
But with Thy great mercy
Keep us night and day.
Hear our prayer, Father, hear.

Amen.
