164. He Listens to All

1 Our Father is ready our voices to hear,
He listens to all,
We need but to ask and our Helper is near,
He listens, He listens to all,

Chorus:
An anthem of glory, a heart’s broken story,
A multitude’s song, or a child’s softest call;
To each He’s attending, swift answer He’s sending,
He listens, He listens to all,

2 Our songs of thanksgiving, our sorrowing cry,
He listens to all,
No word but ascends to His dwelling on high,
He listens, He listens to all, [Chorus]

3 The rich and the needy, the old and the young,
He listens to all,
The valiant and strong and the faltering tongue,
He listens, He listens to all, [Chorus]

4 So turn not away from His sympathy sweet,
He listens to all,
But come with your sorrows and joys to His feet
He listens, He listens to all, [Chorus]
