11827. O Thou That Hearest Prayer, Now From Thy Throne

1 O Thou that hearest prayer, now from Thy throne
Bow down Thine ear to us, 2e are Thine own;
While in Thy name we plead grace for this hour of need,
O Spirit, intercede; help, Lord, Thine own.

2 More of Thy righteous will grant we may know;
More of Thy precious love,gLord, may we show;
Lift up the fainting heart, strength to the weak impart;
Thou our deliverer art; help, Lord, Thine own.

3 Star of the rising morn, shine on our way;
Source of eternal truth, teach us to pray;
Still may our souls abide close to Thy bleeding side;
O Spirit, be our guide; help, Lord, Thine own.
