Praying to express the Lord,
We must not ourselves express,
But let Christ reveal Himself,
His desire in us impress.

Praying to express the Lord,
We must utter His intent,
Quieting our human thoughts
That with His our mind be blent.

Praying to express the Lord,
Ever looking unto Him
As a mirror to reflect
All His glory from within.

Praying to express the Lord,
Letting Him beseech in us;
Christ indwelling prays within
To the Christ in heaven thus.

Christ indwelling prays within
To the Christ in heaven thus.

Praying to express the Lord,
Learning not to pray by self,
Praying wholly with the Lord,
Praying only by Himself.
Learning not to pray by self,
Praying wholly with the Lord,
Praying only by Himself.
