Thou dost for Thy disciples care,
Open Thine ears to hear our prayer.
Thine eyes our wants to see:
Thou canst not. Lord, Thyself deny;
Thou always wilt the wants supply
Of conscious poverty.

Calling Thy mercies past to mind
Increasing confidence we find,
And stronger comforts prove:
Jesus, Thou art a friend indeed.
Who never fail'st in time of need,
A God of truth and love.

Wq trust Thy providential power,
To keep us every future hour
Thy dear peculiar race;
We cannot lack a real good,
On whom Thou hast Thyself bestow'd,
With all Thy heaven of grace.
