1 O THOU that hearest prayer,
Attend our humble cry;
And let thy servants share
Thy blessings 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--
Oh, let thy Spirit now
Descend and fill the place;
That all may feel the heavenly flame,
And all unite to praise thy name.
