Sweet Spirit, Hear My Prayer 
Oh! thou, to whom this heart ne'er yet Turned in anguish or regret, The past forgive, the future spare-Sweet spirit, hear my prayer. Oh! leave me not alone in grief, Send this blighted heart relief-Send this blighted heart relief! Make, thou, my life thy future care-Sweet spirit, hear my prayer! Ah! make my life thy future care-Sweet spirit, hear my prayer! Hear, oh! hear my prayer! Ah! hear my prayer! 
Oh! thou, to whom my thoughts are known, Calm, oh! calm these trembling fears; Oh! turn away the world's cold frown. And dry these falling tears. Oh! leave me not alone in grief, Send this blighted heart relief-Send this blighted heart relief! Make, thou, my life thy future care-Sweet spirit, hear my prayer! Ah! make my life thy future care-Sweet Spirit, hear my prayer! Hear, oh! hear my prayer! Ah! hear my prayer!
