The hearer of prayer.
YE praying souls, rejoice,
And bless your Father’s Name;
With joy to him lift up your voice,
And all his love proclaim.
2 Your mournful cry he hears;
He marks your feeblest groan,
Supplies your wants, dispels your fears,
And makes his mercy known.
3 To all his praying saints
He ever will attend,
And to their sorrows and complaints
His ear in mercy bend.
4 Then let us still go on
In his appointed ways,
Rejoicing in his Name alone,
In prayer and humble praise.
Medley
Methodist Episcopal hymnal (1870 edition)
<idle musing>
Interesting that a Google search for this hymn only turns up four hits—and all of them are to this particular hymnal, although two are to a compilation that just lifted the hymns, complete with number and republished them. Consequently, I have no way of knowing if someone, somewhere, has come up with an author for it.
