The Lord, who truly knows

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #175 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Lord, who truly knows The heart of every saint, Invites us by His holy word To pray and never faint. 2 He bows His gracious ear; We never plead in vain; Yet we must wait till He appear, And pray, and pray again. 3 Though unbelief suggest, Why should we longer wait? He bids us never give Him rest, But be importunate. 4 'Twas thus a widow poor, Without support of friend, Bests the unjust judge's door, And gained at last her end. 5 And shall not Jesus hear His children when they cry? Yes, though He may awhile forbear, He'll not their suit deny. 6 Then let us earnest be, And never faint in prayer, He loves our importunity, And makes our cause His care.
