Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #750 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with rev'rence and with fear;
though dust and ashes in your sight,
we may, we must draw near.
2 O God of grace we come to you
with broken, contrite hearts;
give what your eye delights to view,
truth in the inward parts.
3 Give deep humility; the sense
of godly sorrow give;
a strong desiring confidence
to hear your voice and live;
4 give faith in your great sacrifice
that does for sin atone,
to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes
on Christ, and Christ alone;
5 give patience as we watch and weep,
though mercy long delay;
give courage our faint souls to keep,
and trust you though you slay;
6 give these, and then your will be done;
thus strengthened with all might,
we, through your Spirit and your Son,
shall pray, and pray aright. Topics: Prayer; Confession of Sin; Humility; Prayer; Self-Examination Scripture: Genesis 18:27 Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHAMPTON
