1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright,
With rev'rence and with fear;
Though dust and ashes in Thy sight,
We may, we must draw near.
2 Burdened with guilt, convinced of sin,
In weakness, want, and woe,
False hopes without and fears within,
Lord, whither shall we go?
3 God of all grace, we come to Thee
With broken, contrite hearts;
Give what Thine eye delights to see,
Truth in the inward parts.
4 Give deep humility; the sense
Of godly sorrow give;
A strong desire, with confidence,
To hear Thy voice and live;
5 Faith in the only sacrifice
That can for sin atone,
To cast our loves, to fix our eyes,
On Christ, on Christ alone.
6 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.
