Lord, Teach Us How to Pray

Verse 1

Lord, teach us how to pray, Inspire and strengthen faith; Upon these dull, cold hearts of clay, Send down a quick’ning breath.

Chorus

Lord, teach us how to pray, The Spirit now impart, That we, before Thy throne today, May come with perfect heart.

Verse 2

Lord, teach us how to pray, Show us the throne of grace, Where mercy reigns in gentle sway, Revealed in Jesus’ face.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
