Unanswered Yet?

Author: Miss F. G. Browning Hymnal: JL1884 #158 (1884) Person Name: Miss F. G. Browning First Line: Unanswered yet, the prayer your lips have pleaded Lyrics: 1 Unanswered yet, the prayer your lips have pleaded In agony of heart these many years? Does faith now fail you? is your hope departing? And think you all in vain those falling tears? Say not the Father hath not heard your prayer; You shall have your desire, sometime, somewhere; The Lord will hear your pray'r. 2 Unanswered yet? tho' when you first presented This one petition at the Father's throne, It seemed you could not wait the time of asking, So urgent was your heart to make it known; Tho' years have passed since then, do not despair; The Lord will answer you, sometime, somewhere; The Lord will hear your pray'r. 3 Unanswered yet? nay, do not say ungranted; Perhaps your part is not yet wholly done; The work began when first your prayer was uttered, And God will finish what He has begun; If you will keep the incense burning there, His glory you shall see, sometime, somewhere; The Lord will hear your prayer.

The Eleventh Hour

Author: Mrs. Ellen E. Chase Hymnal: JL1884 #149 (1884) Person Name: Mrs. Ellen E. Chase First Line: Who knocketh now at the wicket gate? Lyrics: 1 Who knocketh now at the wicket gate? Who standeth there in the twilight gray? A poor wand’rer lone; it is late-- so late; The sunlight has fled from the dying day; My locks are so damp with the falling dews, Pray open to me, for the night pursues. 2 Where hast thou been all the long, long day? Why lose the path? It was plain to thee. I wandered in search of a better way, It seemed, ever seemed very near to me; Now weary I come to the wicket gate, And venture to knock, tho’ the hour be late. 3 What fruit hast thou from the fields so fair? What golden sheaves that thy hands have bound? My heart is oppressed with grief and care, The joy that I sought I have never found; Naught, naught do I bring from my wand’rings wide, But withered, pale leaves at the eventide. 4 What plea hast thou for thy slighted Lord, If now His ear He would bend to thee? The promise He left in His Holy Word, His blood, precious blood He has shed for me. O poor wand’ring one from the world of sin, In Jesus’ dear name, weary one, come in.
