Hymn using same tune:

Tune 2: #1062

 

 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.
