Hear Thou My Prayer

lyricist: Henry Graves, 1879
Composer: George Stebbins

All-seeing

gra­cious Lord—

My heart be­fore Thee lies;

All sin of thought and life ab­hor­red

My soul to Thee would rise.

Hear Thou my pray­er

O God

Unite my heart to Thee;

Beneath Thy love

be­neath Thy rod

From sin de­li­ver me.

Thou know­est all my need

My in­most thought dost see;

Ah

Lord! from all al­lure­ments freed

Like Thee trans­formed I’d be.

Thou ho­ly bless­èd One

To me

I pray

draw near;

My spir­it fill

O hea­v’n­ly Son

With lov­ing

god­ly fear.

Bind Thou my life to Thine

To me Thy life is giv­en;

While I my all to Thee re­sign

Thou art my all in Heav’n.
