Based on 1 Samuel 1: 16 - "Out of...my grief I have spoken"
And does thy heart for Jesus pine,
And make its secret moan?
He understands a sigh divine,
And marks a secret groan.
These pinings prove that Christ is near,
To testify his grace;
Call on him with in unceasing prayer
For he will show his face.
Though much dismayed, take courage still,
And knock at mercy's door;
A loving Saviour surely will
Relieve his praying poor.
He knows how weak and faint thou art,
And must appear at length;
A look from him will cheer the heart,
And bring renewed strength.
