“Lord, Teach us to Pray.”
My God, my Saviour, when to Thee I call,
Hear Thou my prayer, my God, my All-in-all;
O, give me light, to guide my darksome way—
O, hear my prayer, and teach me how to pray.
I come to Thee in humble, earnest prayer;
I come to Thee, Thy promised grace to share.
I come to Thee-my Saviour, lead my way;
O, hear my prayer, and teach me how to pray.
Long have I sought to know and do Thy will,
Yet clouds and darkness hover round me still;
"Poor, blind and naked," wandering from the way:
O, hear my prayer, and teach me how to pray.
I read Thy Word, but seem to read in vain;
I ask for faith, yet doubts and fears remain.
Wilt Thou not hear? wilt Thou not point the way?
O, hear
my prayer, and teach me how to pray.
Send down the Holy Spirit from above,
To fill my soul with heavenly light and love—
To guide me in the straight and narrow way—
O, hear my prayer, and teach me how to pray.
And when I call, be Thou, my Saviour, there;
Incline Thine ear, and listen to my prayer.
Be Thou my Life, my Light, my Truth, my Way-
O, hear
my prayer, and teach me how to pray.
