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.
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.
Teach us to pray!
To whom shall we, Thy children, turn?
Teach us the lesson we should learn:
Teach us to pray,
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,
Teach us to pray.
