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

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
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
