Our Father Hear Our Longing Prayer

Our Father, hear our longing prayer. And help this prayer to flow, The humble thoughts, which are Thy care, May live in us and grow.

For lowly hearts shall understand The peace, the calm delight Of dwelling in Thy heavenly land, A pleasure in Thy sight.

Give us humility, that so, Thy reign may come within. And when Thy children homeward go, We too may enter in.

Hear us, our Saviour! Ours Thou art, Though we are not like Thee; Give us Thy spirit in a heart Large, lowly, trusting, free.
