The Lord whene’er his people pray,
Doth their petitions hear;
He knows not only what we say,
But what we wish or fear.
He sees us when we are alone,
Though no one else can see:
And all our thoughts to him are known,
Wherever we may be.
‘Tis not enough to bend the knee,
And words of prayer to say;
The heart must with the lips agree,
Or else we do not pray.
Teach us, O Lord, to pray aright,
Thy grace to us impart;
That we in prayer may take delight,
And serve thee with the heart.
The heavenly Father, at thy throne,
Thy praise we will proclaim;
And daily our requests make known
In our Redeemer’s name.
