The Hymnal ‎#225

225. O thou who hearest prayer

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!

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.

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.

Amen.
