’Tis Thou hast taught my soul to pray,

For Thou didst speak with God always,

At morn, at noon, at close of day;

And Thou hast said He hears the prayer,

The longing soul breathes everywhere.

I

O, touch my heart, and bring to mind

The sin I should deplore;

And give me grace, Thou God most kind,

That I may sin no more.
