Text: | Lord, teach us how to pray aright |
Author: | Montgomery |
1 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.
2 God of all grace, we come to thee
With broken, contrite hearts;
Give what thine eye delights to see,--
Truth in the inward parts.
3 Patience to watch, and wait, and weep,
Though mercy long delay;
Courage our fainting souls to keep,
And trust thee, though thou slay.
4 Give these, and then thy will be done;
Thus strengthened with all might,
We, by thy Spirit and thy Son,
Shall pray, and pray aright.
