O thou who hearest every heartfelt prayer,
With Thy rich grace, Lord, all our hearts prepare.
Thou art our life, Thou art our love and light,
O let this Sabbath hour with Thee be bright.

This appears to be a short 19th-century-style prayer hymn sometimes used as an introit or opening prayer. No definitive author is widely documented in common hymnals; it is frequently listed as anonymous or traditional. Some sources loosely associate it with 19th-century American or British compilers, but no primary attribution (e.g., to Montgomery, Elliott, or Havergal) holds up under scrutiny.
