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!
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 weakened 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!
My weakened 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!

Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray;
Thou art my pattern day unto day;
Thou art my surety, now and for aye;
Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray.
Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray;
Thou art my pattern day unto day;
Thou art my surety, now and for aye;
Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray.

I love to listen the music and read the words which I can’t sing.

So inspiring in the middle of sickness with our friends and their families.

Living in Thee, Lord, and Thou in me,

Constant abiding, this is my plea;

Jesus said to His disciples could you not pray for one hour the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The flesh will always fight the spirit of man a special when our renewed born again spirit has been renewed, so teach me to pray Lord teach me to pray.

This is the melody and lyrics that I grew up singing. I am able to find music on your site that I'm unable to find elsewhere but I have not been able to print chord sheets. I can see the music but printed on top of it is very large bold print. Are we not allowed to have access to this music?

We did not sing this hymn very often (ever) but this is the same song, both melody and lyrics that I remember (mostly from back in the ‘60s).
