1 | Praying to express the Lord, |
| We must not ourselves express, |
| But let Christ reveal Himself, |
| His desire in us impress. |
2 | Praying to express the Lord, |
| We must utter His intent, |
| Quieting our human thoughts |
| That with His our mind be blent. |
3 | Praying to express the Lord, |
| Ever looking unto Him |
| As a mirror to reflect |
| All His glory from within. |
4 | Praying to express the Lord, |
| Letting Him beseech in us; |
| Christ indwelling prays within |
| To the Christ in heaven thus. |
5 | Praying to express the Lord, |
| Learning not to pray by self, |
| Praying wholly with the Lord, |
| Praying only by Himself. |
