Hymn 190

Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray;

Albert S. Reitz

Verse 1

Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray;

This is my heart cry day unto day;

I long to know Thy will and Thy way;

Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray.

Chorus

Living in Thee, Lord, and Thou in me,

Constant abiding, this is my plea;

Grant me Thy power, boundless and free,

Power with men and power with Thee.

Verse 2

Power in prayer, Lord, power in prayer!

Here ‘mid earth’s sin and sorrow and care,

Men lost and dying, souls in despair;

O give me power, power in prayer!

Chorus

Living in Thee, Lord, and Thou in me,

Constant abiding, this is my plea;

Grant me Thy power, boundless and free,

Power with men and power with Thee.

Verse 3

My weakened will, Lord, Thou canst renew;

My sinful nature Thou canst subdue;

Fill me just now with power anew;

Power to prayer and power to do!

Chorus

Living in Thee, Lord, and Thou in me,

Constant abiding, this is my plea;

Grant me Thy power, boundless and free,

Power with men and power with Thee.

Verse 4

Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray;

Thou art my pattern day unto day;

Thou art my surety now and for aye;

Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray.

Chorus

Living in Thee, Lord, and Thou in me,

Constant abiding, this is my plea;

Grant me Thy power, boundless and free,

Power with men and power with Thee.
