This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Lord, teach us how to pray,

    Not as the nations do in vain,

    But turn us from our way,

    And cause us, Lord, to call on You each day —

       Lord Jesus, grow in us.

 

 2  Lord, You're the seed of life;

    You've sown Yourself into our heart,

    And now You have a start;

    So day by day more life to us impart —

       Lord Jesus, grow in us.

 

 3  Lord Jesus, soften us;

    You know the source from which we came.

    By calling on Your name,

    Lord, let no earth unturned nor rocks remain —

       Lord Jesus, grow in us.

 

 4  Lord, how Your light makes clear

    That we could not but e'er fail You;

    Yet there's a message true,

    The seed of life within us will break through —

       Lord Jesus, grow in us.

 

 5  Make us in spirit poor;

    Lord, take whate'er we think we know.

    We'll open to life's flow,

    And thus take in the life that makes us grow —

       Lord Jesus, grow in us.

 

 6  Lord, make us pure in heart;

    For we'll be not content until

    You all our being fill,

    O Lord, renew our mind, emotion, will —

       Lord Jesus, grow in us.

 

 7  Yes, Lord, impress our heart

    That we must take You in each day;

    The seed will have its way;

    Your growing brings the kingdom here to stay —

       Lord Jesus, grow in us.

 

 8  Amen! — The growth in life!

    There's nothing that Your life can't do;

    Our every part renew.

    We'll make it, we'll make it just by You.

       Lord Jesus, grow in us.

       Lord Jesus, grow in us.
