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 Then let us earnest be,
And never faint in prayer;
He loves our importunity,
And makes our cause His care.
Amen.
