HIS EARS

By what authority did Jesus speak

And to which principle did He adhere?

"Morning by morning He openeth mine ear".

He would not speak that which He did not hear:

In words or deeds obedience was complete

Unto the cross   the uttermost extreme.

But as He went He heard the cries of need

From those around and always stopped to heal.

Exalted now the Saviour still takes heed

Of every prayer and every humble plea:

His ears are open and still He will relieve

All who are weary, as their sustaining Priest.
