Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray

			5.4.5.4.

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. 

2	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	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! 

4	Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray;
	Thou art the pattern day unto day;
	Fill me just now with power anew,
	Power to pray and power to do!
