Come now, O Lord, and teach us how to pray

1 Come now, O Lord, and teach us how to pray.
Teach us to ask yourselves from day to day
if we are yours and yours alone will be
through earthly days and through eternity.

2 Come now, O Lord, and search each inmost thought.
Ask if we love and serve you as we ought.
Do we attempt to do your holy will?
Does constant love for you our poor hearts fill?

3 Come now, O Lord, and as in days of old
to us your Spirit gracefully unfold;
pour forth your love and all-abounding grace
till we in spirit see you face to face.
