Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to
|
|
| 1. | Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to |
| | pray; |
| | This is my heart-cry day unto day; |
| | I long to know Thy will and Thy way; |
| | Teach me to pray, Lord teach me to |
| | pray. |
| | Living in Thee, Lord, and Thou in |
| | me, |
| | Constant abiding, this is my plea; |
| | Grant me Thy power, boundless and |
| | free, |
| | Power with men and power with |
| | Thee. |
| 2. | Power in prayer, Lord, power in |
| | prayer! |
| | Here 'mid earth's sin and sorrow and |
| | care, |
| | Men lost and dying, souls in despair; |
| | O give me power, power in prayer! |
| 3. | My weakened will, Lord, Thou canst |
| | renew; |
| | My sinful nature Thou canst subdue; |
| | Fill me just not with power anew; |
| | Power to pray and power to do! |
| 4. | Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to |
| | pray; |
| | Thou art my pattern day unto day; |
| | Thou art my surety, now and for aye; |
| | Teach me to pray, Lord teach me to |
| | pray. |
