HYMN.
Will God, who made the earth and sea,
The night, and shining day,
Regard a little child like me,
And listen when I pray?
The night, and shining day,
Regard a little child like me,
And listen when I pray?
If I am hungry, poor, and cold,
Then will he hear my cry?
And when I shall be sick and old,
O, then will God be nigh?
Then will he hear my cry?
And when I shall be sick and old,
O, then will God be nigh?
Yes; in his holy word we read
Of his unfailing love;
And when his mercy most we need,
His mercy he will prove.
Of his unfailing love;
And when his mercy most we need,
His mercy he will prove.
To those who seek him, he is near:
He looks upon the heart;
And from the humble and sincere
He never will depart.
He looks upon the heart;
And from the humble and sincere
He never will depart.
He sees our thoughts, our wishes knows;
He hears our faintest prayer:
Where'er the faithful Christian goes,
He finds his Father there.
He hears our faintest prayer:
Where'er the faithful Christian goes,
He finds his Father there.
