Author: Thomas Morell, 1781-1840 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O gracious Father, condescend Lyrics: 1 O gracious Father, condescend
To hear our fervent prayer,
While this our brother we commend
To Thy paternal care.
2 Before him set an open door;
His various efforts bless;
On him Thy Holy Spirit pour,
And crown him with success.
3 Endow him with a heavenly mind;
Supply his every need;
Make him in spirit meek, resigned,
But hold in word and deed.
4 In every tempting, trying hour,
Uphold him by Thy grace;
And guard him by Thy mighty power,
Till he shall end his race. Topics: The Church's Life and Work The Ministry Used With Tune: EMMANUEL
O Gracious Father, Condescend to Hear
