- 1Jesus, who knows full well
- The heart of every saint,
- Invites us all our grief to tell,
- To pray and never faint.
- 2He bows his gracious ear,--
- We never plead in vain;
- Then let us wait till he appear,
- And pray, and pray again.
- 3Jesus, the Lord, will hear
- His chosen when they cry;
- Yes, though he may a while forbear,
- He'll help them from on high.
- 4Then let us earnest cry,
- And never faint in prayer;
- He sees, he hears, and, from on high,
- Will make our cause his care.
