An Evangelistic Prayer

Father of mercies, bow Thine ear,

Attentive to our earnest prayer;

We plead for those who plead for thee,

Successful pleaders may they be!

Let thronging multitudes around,

Hear from their lips the joyful sound;

In humble strains thy grace adore,

And feel Thy new-creating power.

Let sinners break their massy chains

Distressed souls forget their pains,

And light through distant realms be spread,

Till Zion rears her drooping head.
