' Lord, teach us how to pray,
And give us hearts to ask,
Or all we seek, or think, or say,
Will prove a tiresome task.

Teach us for what to pray,
For thou alone art wise ;

And often what we blindly urge,
Thy mercy, Lord, denies.

Lord, teach us so to pray,
That murmuring be unknown ;
That whatsoe’er thy grace decrees,
Thy will may be our own.

Thy Holy Spirit send,
Our bosoms to inspire ;

Then shall our praise to thee ascend,

With pure and warm desire.

CHILDREN PRAISING THE SAVIOUR.

Hosannas were by children sung
When Jesus was on earth ;

Then surely we are not too young

To sound his praises forth.
