Friend of the friendless and the faint!
Where can I lodge my deep complaint?
Where, but with thee, whose open door
Invites the helpless sinner, poor!
Did ever mourner plead with thee.
And thou refuse that mourner's plea I
Does not the word still fix'd remain.
That none shall seek thy face in vain 1
That were a grief I could not bear.
Didst thou not hear and answer prayer:
O thou, prayer-hearing, answering God,
Take from my heart this painful load.
