Text: | Lord, Teach Us How to Pray Aright |
Author: | James Montgomery |
Tune: | ST. AGNES |
Composer: | John B. Dykes |
1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with rev'rence and with fear.
Tho' dust and ashes in Your sight,
we may, we must draw near.
2 We perish if we cease from prayer;
O, grant us pow'r to pray.
And when to meet You we prepare,
Lord, meet us on our way.
3 Give deep humility; the sense
of godly sorrow give;
a strong desire with confidence,
to hear Your voice and live;
4 Faith in the only sacrifice
that can for sin atone;
to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes
on Christ, on Christ alone.
5 Give these, and then Your will be done;
thus strengthened with all might,
we, thro' Your Spirit and Your Son,
shall pray, and pray aright.
