¶Lyrics / Text

Lord, teach us how to pray aright with reverence and with fear; though dust and ashes in thy sight, we may, we must, draw near. We perish if we cease from prayer: O grant us power to pray; and, when to meet thee we prepare, Lord, meet us by the way. God of all grace, we bring to thee a broken, contrite heart; give what thine eye delights to see, truth in the inward part; faith in the only sacrifice that can for sin atone, to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes, on Christ, on Christ alone; patience to watch and wait and weep, though mercy long delay; courage our fainting souls to keep, and trust thee though thou slay. Give these, and then thy will be done; thus, strengthened with all might, we, through thy Spirit and thy Son, shall pray, and pray aright.
