Jesus, who knows full well
The heart of ev'ry saint,
Invites us all our griefs to tell,
To pray, and never faint.
He bows his gracious ear—
We never plead in vain;
Then let us wait till he appear,
And pray, and pray again.
Though unbelief suggest,
Why should we longer wait?"
He bids us never give him rest,
But knock at mercy's gate.
Jesus, the Lord, will hear
His chosen when they cry;
Yes, though he may awhile forbear.
He'll help them from on high.
Then let us earnest cry,
And never faint in pray'r;
He sees, he hears, and from on high.
Will make our cause his care.
