A Plea for a Friend

O Gracious Father, You who hear our prayers,
Listen to our pleas for Hebe, Dear Lord,
God, heal her, free her from the devil's snares,
Lead her, guide her, show her Your grace is poured
For her, Your Son Jesus her burden bears.

Though broken she lies, you will wipe her tears,
For death has been defeated. Peace you give,
As not the world gives, that vain not the jeers
You suffered, sin still smothers us captive.

Yet, Jesus rose from death, our cries He hears.

Lord, come, as this prayer falls on Your ears,
O Holy Ghost who groans inaudibly
Will you quell not, Your child, Hebe from fears?
We trust You are with her no less subtly,
As one we resound our "Amens" and cheers.
