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