  1. Prayer (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Unless I feel my need.
    Unless "tis from a sense of want.
    That all my prayers proceed.
    I may as well kneel down.
    And worship gods of stone.
    As offer to the living God.
    A prayer of words alone.
    For words without the heart
    The Lord will never hear
    Nor will He ever (hear) that child regard
    Whose prayers are insincere.
    Lord, teach me what I want.
    And teach me how to pray.
    Nor let me ever implore thy grace
    Not feeling what I say.
