Verses:  1   2   3   4 

 

 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.

 

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, Lord, 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!

 

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.

 

 3  My weakened will, Lord, Thou canst renew;

    My sinful nature Thou canst subdue;

    Fill me just not with power anew;

    Power to pray and power to do!

 

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.

 

 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.

 

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.
