Alternate Tune:
O Thou that hearest prayer,
Now from Thy throne
Bow down Thine ear to us,
We are Thine own;
While in Thy name we plead
Grace for this hour of need,
O Spirit, intercede;
Help, Lord, Thine own.
More of Thy righteous will
Grant we may know;
More of Thy precious love,
Lord, may we show;
Lift up the fainting heart,
Strength to the weak impart;
Thou our deliverer art;
Help, Lord, Thine own.
Star of the rising morn,
Shine on our way;
Source of eternal truth,
Teach us to pray;
Still may our souls abide
Close to Thy bleeding side;
O Spirit, be our guide;
Help, Lord, Thine own.
