Lord, Teach Us How To Pray Aright
Verse 1
Lord, teach us how to pray aright, With reverence and with fear; Though dust and ashes in Thy sight, We may, we must draw near.
Verse 2
We perish if we cease from prayer; O grant us power to pray; And when to meet Thee we prepare, Lord, meet us by the way.
Verse 3
God of all grace, we come to Thee With broken, contrite hearts; Give what Thine eye delights to see, Truth in the inward parts.
Verse 4
Faith in the only sacrifice That can for sin atone; To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes, On Christ, on Christ alone.
Verse 5
Patience to watch, and wait, and weep, Though mercy long delay; Courage our fainting souls to keep, And trust Thee though Thou slay.
Verse 6
Give these, and then Thy will be done, Thus, strengthened with all might, We, through Thy Spirit and Thy Son, Shall pray, and pray aright.
