197. TEACH ME TO PRAY, LORD

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.

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, Lord, power in prayer.

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.

Living in Thee, Lord, and Thou in me, Constant abiding: this is my plea;

Grant me the power, boundless and free, Power with men and power with Thee.
