91b. Hymn 4--Orphan's Prayer

1 O gracious Lord! whose mercies rise
Above our utmost need,
Incline thine ear unto our cry,
And hear the orphan plead.

2 To thee we flee, to thee we pray;
Thou shalt our Father be:
More than the fondest parent's care
We find, O Lord, in thee!

3 Already thou hast heard our cry,
And wiped away our tears:
Thy mercy has refuge found,
To guard our helpless years.

4 Oh, let thy love descend on those
Who pity to us show;
Nor let their children ever taste
The orphan's cup of woe!
