Hear Lord, The Song Of Praise And Prayer

Author: Wiliam Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11011 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Hear, Lord, the song of praise and prayer Lyrics: 1 Hear, Lord, the song of praise and prayer, In Heav’n Thy dwelling place, From infants, made Thy constant care, [originally, …made the public care] And taught to seek Thy face! 2 Thanks for Thy Word, and for Thy day, And grant us, we implore, Never to waste in sinful play, Thy holy Sabbaths more. 3 Thanks that we hear—but, Oh, impart, To each desires sincere, That we may listen with our heart, And learn, as well as hear. 4 For if vain thoughts our minds engage, Of elder far than we: What hope that at our heedless age, Our minds shall e’er be free? 5 Much hope, if Thou our spirits take Under Thy gracious sway, Who canst make the wisest wiser make And babes as wise as they. 6 Wisdom and bliss Thy Word bestows, A sun that ne’er declines; And be Thy mercies showered on those Who placed us where it shines.
