Author: Berridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #765 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Samuel 1:16 Lyrics: 1 And does thy heart for Jesus pine,
And make its secret moan?
He understands a sigh divine,
And marks a secret groan.
2 These pinings prove that Christ is near,
To testify his grace;
Call on him with unceasing prayer
For he will show his face.
3 Though much dismayed, take courage still,
And knock at mercy’s door;
A loving Saviour surely will
Relieve his praying poor.
4 He knows how weak and faint thou art,
And must appear at length;
A look from him will cheer thy heart,
And bring renewèd strength. Languages: English
