Author: Calvin W. Laufer Hymnal: Children's Hymnal #101 (1957) Lyrics: 1 The Lord is ever near,
He bids his children pray;
While they are speaking he will hear,
And bless them day by day.
2 Our Father's love is sure,
And very wise his care;
He gives us what he knows is best,
And hears our every prayer.
3 Teach us, dear Lord, to pray,
To trust thee as we should;
And help us feel that come what may,
Thy gifts are always good.
