-Soon as I heard my Father say,
-"Ye children, seek my grace,"
-My heart replied without delay,
-"I'll seek my Father's face."
-Let not Thy face be hid from me,
-Nor frown my soul away;
-God of my life, I fly to Thee
-In a distressing day.
-Should friends and kindred near and dear
-Leave me to want or die,
-My God would make my life his care,
-And all my need supply.
-Wait on the Lord, ye trembling saints,
-And keep your courage up;
-He'll raise your spirit when it faints,
-And far exceed your hope.}}
