Prayer before Church
From Hymns
Religion
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.
