Lord, we ¤need Thy ten¤der ¤mer¤cy,
Need it eve¤ry ¤day;
We are ¤in the midst of ¤dan¤ger–
¤Teach us how to ¤pray.

Chorus:
Teach us how to ¤pray,
How to watch and ¤pray,
Fierce and ¤strong the powers of ¤dark¤ness–
¤Teach us how to ¤pray.
how to pray, watch and pray,

In the ¤qui¤et of Thy ¤pres¤ence,
Fit us for the ¤fray;
Lest we ¤wa¤ver in the ¤con¤flict,
¤Be our strength and ¤stay.

Lord, pre¤¤serve and shield Thy ¤peo¤ple–
Foes are lurk¤ing ¤round;
In the ¤way our feet must ¤jour¤ney
¤Snares of death are ¤found.

Lord, im¤¤part Thy quick¤ening ¤Spir¤it
While our prayers a¤¤rise;
Prayers from ¤need¤y hearts and ¤con¤trite
¤Thou wilt not de¤¤spise.

Ruth¤less ¤are the hosts of ¤e¤vil,
Cru¤el as the ¤grave;
But Thou ¤art our strong de¤¤liv¤’rer,
¤Thou wilt rise and ¤save.
