The prayer that flows from hearts sincere,
Is pleasing to the Lord above;
While empty words offend his ear,
And must to righteous anger move.
To walk as children of the day,
Led by his precepts’ holy light,
To wage the warfare, watch and pray,
Show who are pleasing in his sight.
Not words alone it cost the Lord
To purchase pardon for his own;
Nor will a soul by grace restored,
Return the Saviour words alone.
To us them, gracious Lord, impart
A living faith that works by love;
A faith that purifies the heart,
And makes us meet for joys above.
