460. God of Love, Who Hearest Prayer

1 God of love, who 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 Save us from the great and wise
Till they sink in their own eyes,
Tamely to Thy yoke submit,
Lay their honors at Thy feet.

4 Never let the world break in:
Fix a mighty gulf between;
Keep us little and unknown,
Prized and loved by God alone.

5 Let us still to Thee look up,
Thy Israel's strength and hope;
Nothing know, or seek, beside
Jesus, and Him crucified.

AMEN.
