一 禱告乃是靈中所燒聖香，
經過破碎之人向神獻上；
乃是由焚燒之靈所點燃，
並藉信心之翼升到神前。
二 禱告乃是恩典芳香所播，
信心、愛心、苦難澆灌花朵；
藏在滿了香氣玉瓶裏面，
給神吸入，欣賞其味之甜。
三 禱告乃是上升含水之氣，
供給甘雨，並使河流不息；
灌溉乾地，直到地的四方，
所有沙漠都像玫瑰開放。
四 禱告乃是聖靈所滿金管，
用神的油供給神的燈盞；
正當我們同心等候、禱告，
靈就充滿，燈就發光照耀。
五 禱告乃是宇宙最大力量，
乃是神的炸藥，無何能擋；
推動那隻推動一切之手，
轉動活輪，掠過全地無留。
六 教我禱告！運行在我靈中，
直到全人被祢感覺推動！
在我裏面禱告，直到顯出
我裏基督禱告天上基督。
1. Prayer is the incense of a holy heart
Rising to God from bruised and broken things,
When kindled by the Spirit's burning breath
And upward borne by faith's ascending wings.
2. Prayer is the perfume of the plants of grace,
The flow'rs of patience, faith, and suff'ring love;
Treasured in "vials full of odors sweet,''
God breathes their fragrance in His courts above.
3. Prayer is th' ascending vapor which supplies
The showers of blessing, and the stream that flows
Through earth's dry places, till on every side
"The wilderness shall blossom as the rose.''
4. Prayer is the golden pipes the Spirit fills,
Which feed the lamps of God with oil divine,
And, as with one accord we wait and pray,
The Spirit fills, the lamps with brightness shine.
5. Prayer is the mightiest force of earth and heav'n,
Prayer is the very dynamite of God;
It moves the hand that all things moves, and turns
The living wheels that sweep through earth abroad.
6. Teach us to pray! Move on our hearts, O Lord,
Till Thine own passion all our being move!
Teach us! Pray in us, till our prayer shall be
Christ in us praying to the Christ above!
