Acts 16:14: By prayer disposed to hear the word
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
By prayer disposed to hear the word
Which did the saving faith convey,
She readily received her Lord;
But He inclined her heart to pray,
And carried on the work begun,
And made His pardoning mercy known.
The Lord whoever truly hears,
Sincere in an imperfect state,
Least of His outward worshippers,
Earnest for farther light to wait,
The gospel-light shall clearly see,
And feel "The Saviour died for me."
