God hearkens and hears His sorrowful saints

Verse 1
God hearkens and hears His sorrowful saints,
Replies to their tears, And troubles, and wants:
His only good-pleasure Doth freely restore
An heavenly treasure, A friend to the poor.

Verse 2
One woman of grace To life is restor’d
That many may praise, And turn to the Lord;
A single believer From death they receive,
That thousands forever With Jesus may live.
