293. God of love, that hear'st the prayer

1 God of love, that hear'st the prayer,
Kindly for thy people care:
Who on thee alone depend,
Love us, save us to the end.

2 Save us in the prosperous hour,
From the flattering tempter's power,
From his unsuspected wiles,
From the world's pernicious smiles.

3 Never let the world break in;
Fix a mighty gulf between:
Keep us little and unknown
Prized and loved by God alone.

4 Let us still to thee look up,
Thee, thy Israel's strength and hope;
Nothing know or seek beside
Jesus, and him crucified.
