Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Church Book #27 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 Burdened with guilt, convinced of sin,
In weakness, want, and woe,
Fightings 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 hopes, 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. Topics: Worship General Petitions; Sundays in Lent; Lent, First Sunday; Easter Season, Sixth Sunday; Eleventh Sunday after Trinity; Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: DUNFERMLINE
