PRAYER PAGE

January 6, 2008

As we continue to use hymns for our prayers, the following is not in our present hymnal, but I have retrieved it from our previous hymnal, “PRAISE! Our Songs and Hymns”. Our Lord’s disciples requested not that he teach them how to preach or to teach, but to pray. Here is hymn #409.

 
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.
 
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!
 
My weaken will, Lord, Thou canst renew;
My sinful nature Thou canst subdue;
Fill me just now with power anew;
Power to pray 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.
 
Let the Lord teach you how to pray this week.
