1 We know, dear Lord, Thy gracious ear
Will not refuse our call,
For Thou dost hear the raven’s cry,
And mark the sparrow’s fall.

Refrain:
We come before Thy throne of grace
And ask, while kneeling there,
A stronger faith and deeper love—
O Jesus, answer prayer.

2 We ask a faith that shines more bright
Than midday’s golden sun;
A love that seeketh not its own,
But cries: Thy will be done! [Refrain]

3 We ask a faith that will not faint,
Whate’er its toil may be;
A hope secure upon the Rock,
Its anchor firm on Thee. [Refrain]

4 We ask a love that envies not,
A love that thinks no ill;
A love that hopes, believes, endures,
And yet is patient still. [Refrain]
