What though earthly friends may frown,

Why should I dejected be?

Father, let thy will be known,

Let me find my all in thee.

Never let my soul despair,

God will hear the orphan’s prayer;

God will hear,

God will hear the orphan’s prayer.

2 Sorrow’s child I long have been,

Often for unkindness mourned;

Friendless orphan, poor and mean,

By the proud and wealthy scorned.

Still to God will I repair,

God will hear the orphan’s prayer;

God will hear,

God will hear the orphan’s prayer.

3 Earthly comforts fade and die,

Sorrows oft our joys attend;

But if we on God rely,

He will prove a constant friend.

On him I’ll cast every care,

He regards the orphan’s prayer;

He regards,

He regards the orphan’s prayer.
