Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Awakening Songs for the Church, Sunday School and Evangelistic Services #119 (1917) First Line: We know, dear Lord, Thy gracious ear Refrain First Line: We come before thy throne of grace Lyrics: 1 We know, dear Lord, Thy gracious ear
Will not refuse our call,
For Thou dost hear the raven’s cry,
And mark the sparrow’s fall.
Refrain:
We come before Thy throne of grace
And ask, while kneeling there,
A stronger faith and deeper love—
O Jesus, answer prayer.
2 We ask a faith that shines more bright
Than midday’s golden sun;
A love that seeketh not its own,
But cries: Thy will be done! [Refrain]
3 We ask a faith that will not faint,
Whate’er its toil may be;
A hope secure upon the Rock,
Its anchor firm on Thee. [Refrain]
4 We ask a love that envies not,
A love that thinks no ill;
A love that hopes, believes, endures,
And yet is patient still. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We know, dear Lord, Thy gracious ear]
O Jesus, Answer Prayer
