Author: D. W. Whittle Hymnal: Sacred Songs No. 1 #53 (1896) Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray,
Inspire and strengthen faith;
Upon these dull, cold hearts of clay,
Send down a quick’ning breath.
Refrain:
Lord, teach us how to pray,
The Spirit now impart,
That we, before Thy throne today,
May come with perfect heart.
2 Lord, teach us how to pray,
Show us the throne of grace,
Where mercy reigns in gentle sway,
Revealed in Jesus’ face. [Refrain]
3 Lord, teach us how to pray;
We know not what to seek,
Or how to ask the needed grace;
Or with what words to speak. [Refrain]
4 Lord, teach us how to pray;
Bring us within the vail,
Thro’ Christ, “the new and living way,”
Where pray’r can never fail. [Refrain] Topics: Worship Scripture: Luke 11:1 Tune Title: [Lord, teach us how to pray]
