Jesus the Son, Lord of us all

Who is always the same ever

Give ear to the cry of Thy child

And teach us how to pray to Thee,

Give us a heart that prays to Thee,

Wake us early to seek Thy face.

We cannot think any good thought

Our intentions cannot be good

Except Thou our Creator put

Such grace and goodness deep within;

Then we shall have a heart like Thine,

Compassionate, yielded to Thee.

Jesus, listen to the complaint

Of Thy own in severe trial

Give those things we do not possess

Send the blessed Comforter down

Give to us a spirit of prayer

Send Thy Holy Ghost to our souls.

Send the Holy Spirit to us

Make us a part of Thy body

That all our ailment may be stemmed,

That sinner’s anxious thoughts may cease

Pow’r to prevail with Thee in prayer,

Until our heart is house of prayer.

Come down in the spirit of prayer

To us who are seeking for Thee

The grace to prevail in our prayer,

Is our earnest supplication,

Endow us with this, Lord Jesus

Thou will supply all other things.
