Lyrics

Hear my pray­er; O hear and bless,
While my sins I now con­fess!
Let me hear that voice so mild,
Softly say, Thou art My child.

Refrain

Hear my pray­er; O Fa­ther, hear!
Safe am I if Thou art near;
More like Christ, my Sav­ior, make,
Hear me for Thy mer­cy’s sake.

Hear my pray­er; O Fa­ther, hear!
Soothe my con­sci­ence, calm my fear;
Drive away each ris­ing doubt,
Cast the ev­il spir­it out.

Refrain

Hear my pray­er, and make me Thine;
May I know that Thou art mine;
Know I am from sin set free,
And each day grow more like Thee.
