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?

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?

Yes; in his holy word we read
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 sees our thoughts, our wishes knows;
He hears our faintest prayer:
Where'er the faithful Christian goes,
He finds his Father there.

Obedient children need not fear:
God is a faithful friend;
And when no other help is near,
He will deliverance send.

Then fear not hunger, cold, or pain;
But fear to disobey
That Power which does your life sustain,
And guards you every day.
