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.

Refrain

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.

Power in pray­er, 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.

Refrain

My weak­ened will, Lord, Thou canst re­new;
My sin­ful na­ture Thou canst sub­due;
Fill me just now with pow­er anew.
Power to pray, and pow­er to do!

Refrain

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.
