Text: | Prayer |
1 The sinner born of God,
To God will pour his prayer,
In sighs, or groans, or words expressed,
Or in a falling tear.
2 The feelings of his heart
Ascend to the Most High;
And though the Lord awhile forbear,
His needs he will supply.
3 A form of words may please
A sinner dead in sin;
But quickened sinners want to pray
As prompted from within.
4 The Holy Ghost indites
All real, vital prayer;
And prayer indited by the Lord,
The Lord will surely hear.
