Text:Oh, Thou that Hearest
Author:Burton, Arr.
Tune:[Oh, thou that hearest prayer!]
Composer:G. F. R.

7. Oh, Thou that Hearest

1 Oh, Thou that hearest prayer!
Attend our humble cry;
And let thy servants share
Thy blessing from on high.

Ref:
We plead the promise of thy Word;
Oh, grant Thy Holy Spirit, Lord,
Thy Holy Spirit, Lord

2 If earthly parents hear
Their children when they cry;
If they, with love sincere,
Their children’s wants supply. [Refrain]

3 Our heavenly Father, Thou!
We, children of Thy grace!
O let Thy Spirit now
Descend, and fill the place. [Refrain]
