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] Used With Tune: IN HOC SIGNO Text Sources: The Voice of Thanksgiving No. 4 (Chicago: Bible Institute Colpartage Association,, 1928)
