God of love that hearest prayer
1
God of love that hearest prayer,Kindly for thy people care,Who on thee alone depend;Love us, save us to the end.
2
Save us in the prosperous hour,From the flattering tempter's power,From his unsuspected wiles,From the world's pernicious smiles.
3
Cut off our dependence vainOn the help of feeble man;Every arm of flesh remove;Stay us only on thy love!
4
Men of worldly, low design,Let not these thy people join;Save us from the great and wise,Till they sink in their own eyes.
5
Never let the world break in;Fix a mighty gulf between:Keep us little and unknown,Prized and loved by God alone.
