|  | His desire in us impress. |

|  | We must utter His intent, | 
|  | Quieting our human thoughts | 
|  | That with His our mind be blent. | 
| 3 | Praying to express the Lord, | 
|  | Ever looking unto Him | 
|  | As a mirror to reflect | 
|  | All His glory from within. | 
| 4 | Praying to express the Lord, | 
|  | Letting Him beseech in us; | 
|  | Christ indwelling prays within | 
|  | To the Christ in heaven thus. | 
| 5 | Praying to express the Lord, | 
|  | Learning not to pray by self, | 
|  | Praying wholly with the Lord, | 
|  | Praying only by Himself. |
