11523. Teach Us To Pray

1 Teach us to pray! O Father, we look up to Thee!
And this our one request shall be, teach us to pray,
Teach us to pray.

2 Teach us to pray! A form of words will not suffice;
The heart must bring its sacrifice; teach us to pray,
Teach us to pray.

3 Teach us to pray! To whom shall we, Thy children, turn?
Teach us the lesson we should learn: teach us to pray,
Teach us to pray.

4 Teach us to pray! To Thee alone our hearts look up;
Prayer is our only door of hope; teach us to pray,
Teach us to pray.
