PRAYER BEFORE CHURCH by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: LORD, I AM IN THY HOUSE OF PRAYER
Last Line: AND TEACH ME THEE TO LOVE AND FEAR.
Subject(s): HYMNS (AS LITERARY FORM);
LORD. I am in Thy house of prayer,
Oh, teach me rightly how to pray;
Incline to me Thy gracious ear,
And listen, Lord, to what I say.

Give me, O Lord, a praying heart,
And also an attentive ear;
Help me to choose the better part,
And teach me Thee to love and fear.
