1 O Savior, teach us how to pray,
And choose the words that we would speak
While gathered here at close of day,
Thy throne of grace to humbly seek.

Refrain:
Shut out the world and let us be
For one sweet hour shut in with Thee.

2 Thou knowest, Lord, how frail we are,
How prone to wander from Thy side;
Oh, keep us safe within Thy care;
Be Thou our shield, our friend and guide. [Refrain]

3 Eternal Spirit, Holy Dove,
To seal our hearts the power is Thine;
Unite us in the bonds of love,
And keep us one thro’ grace divine. [Refrain]
