2230. Hear and Answer Prayer

1. I am praying, blessèd Savior,
To be more and more like Thee;
I am praying that Thy Spirit
Like a dove may rest on me.

Refrain
Thou who knowest all my weakness,
Thou who knowest all my care,
While I plead each precious promise,
Hear, oh, hear and answer prayer.

2. I am praying, blessèd Savior,
For a faith so clear and bright
That its eye will see Thy glory
Through the deepest, darkest night. [Refrain]

3. I am praying to be humbled
By the power of grace divine,
To be clothed upon with meekness,
And to have no will but Thine. [Refrain]

4. I am praying, blessèd Savior,
And my constant prayer shall be
For a perfect consecration,
That shall make me more like Thee. [Refrain]
