27. “Teach Us To Pray.”

Teach us to pray!
O Father, we look up to Thee,
And this our one request shall be,
Teach us to pray!

Teach us to pray!
A form of words will not suffice,
The heart must bring its sacrifice:
Teach us to pray!

Teach us to pray!
To whom shall we Thy children turn?
Teach Thou the lesson we would learn,
Teach us to pray!

Teach us to pray!
To Thee alone our hearts look up,
Prayer is our only door of hope,
Teach us to pray!
