Jesus, who knows full wellThe heart of ev’ry saint;
Invites us all our griefs to tell,
To pray and never faint.
He bows His gracious ear,
We never plead in vain;
Yet we must wait till He appear,
And pray, and pray again.
Though unbelief suggest,
Why should we longer wait?
He bids us never give Him rest,
But be importunate.
Jesus, the Lord, will hear
His chosen when they cry,
Yes, though He may a while forbear,
He’ll help them from on high.
Rev. John Newton
