The sinner born of God,
by William Gadsby·1814·Meter 6.6.8.6 (SM)
Based on Acts 2:21; 2 Chron 32:12,13
1
The sinner born of God,
To God will pour his prayer,
In sighs, or groans, or words expressed,
Or in a falling tear.
2
The feelings of his heart
Ascend to the Most High;
And though the Lord awhile forbear,
His needs he will supply.
3
A form of words may please
A sinner dead in sin;
But quickened sinners want to pray
As prompted from within.
4
The Holy Ghost indites
All real, vital prayer;
And prayer indited by the Lord,
The Lord will surely hear.
