He loveth not! he knows not God!
For God himself is love;
And dwelleth with his children here,
And in the heavens above.

To Him they pray to cleanse their hearts
From every guilty stain;
Nor is a single cry unheard,
Nor prayer breathed forth in vain.

His Spirit too doth in us dwell,
And teaches us to pray;
Though we from fear, or doubt, or sin,
May know not what to say.

It teaches others to forgive,
As we would be forgiven;
That we God's children here may be,
And dwell with Him in heaven.

It strengthens in temptation's hour,
When worldly foes assail;
And gives us courage strong to stand,
And o'er them all prevail.

Pray, pray for those who know not God,
Nor ask his help in prayer;
That they may know the Father's love,
And in his kingdom share.
