O thou who hearest prayer

Hymnal: The Hymnal #225 (1956) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O thou who hearest prayer, Attend our humble cry, And let thy servants share Thy blessing from on high We plead the promise of thy word, Grant us thy Holy Spirit, Lord! 2 If earthly parents hear Their children when they cry, If they with love sincere Their children's wants supply, Much more wilt thou thy love display, And answer when thy children pray. 3 Our heavenly Father, thou, We, children of thy grace, O let thy Spirit now Descend and fill the place, That all may feel the heavenly flame, And all unite to praise thy name. Amen. Topics: Children; Grace; Prayer; Holy Spirit; Word of God; The Holy Spirit Scripture: Psalm 103:13 Languages: English Tune Title: CROFT'S 136TH

Person Name: Unknown Author of "O Thou Who Hearest Prayer" in Pilgrim Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
