God of love that hearest prayer

1God of love that hearest prayer, Kindly for thy people care, Who on thee alone depend; Love us, save us to the end.

2Save us in the prosperous hour, From the flattering tempter's power, From his unsuspected wiles, From the world's pernicious smiles.

3Cut off our dependence vain On the help of feeble man; Every arm of flesh remove; Stay us only on thy love!

4Men of worldly, low design, Let not these thy people join; Save us from the great and wise, Till they sink in their own eyes.

5Never let the world break in; Fix a mighty gulf between; Keep us little and unknown, Prized and loved by God alone.
