13289. Teach Me To Pray

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.

Refrain:
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, 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. [Refrain]

3 My weakened will, Lord, Thou canst renew;
My sinful nature Thou canst subdue;
Fill me just now with power anew.
Power to pray, and power to do! [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
