Prayer is the soul s sincere desireA
Unuttered or expressedB
The motion of a hidden fireA
That trembles in the breastB
-
Prayer is the burden of a sighC
The falling of a tearD
The upward glancing of an eyeC
When none but God is nearE
-
Prayer is the simplest form of speechF
That infant lips can tryC
The upward glancing of an eyeC
When none but God is nearE
-
Prayer is the Christian s vital breathG
The Christian s native airD
His watchword at the gates of deathG
He enters heaven with prayerD
-
O Thou by Whom we come to GodH
The Life the Truth the WayI
The path of prayer Thyself hast trodH
Lord teach us how to prayI
-
Prayer is the contrite sinner s voiceJ
Returning from his waysK
While angels in their songs rejoiceJ
And cry Behold he praysK
-
The saints in prayer appear as oneL
In word in deed and mindM
While with the Father and the SonL
Sweet fellowship they findM
-
No prayer is made by man aloneN
The Holy Spirit pleadsO
And Jesus on th eternal throneN
For sinners intercedesO
-
O Thou by Whom we come to GodH
The Life the Truth the WayI
The path of prayer Thyself hast trodH
Lord teach us how to prayI
