Praying to express the Lord,

We must not ourselves express,

But let Christ reveal Himself,

His desire in us impress.

Praying to express the Lord,

We must utter His intent,

Quieting our human thoughts

That with His our mind be blent.

Praying to express the Lord,

Ever looking unto Him

As a mirror to reflect

All His glory from within.

Praying to express the Lord,

Letting Him beseech in us;

Christ indwelling prays within

To the Christ in heaven thus.

Praying to express the Lord,

Learning not to pray by self,

Praying wholly with the Lord,

Praying only by Himself.
