Tune Origin: OSDAH 537
♦-1-♦
Worship in public and in private,
Must have us pray in the kneeling state,
Christ is the model to imitate,
Reverencing God.
♦-Refrain-♦
Spiritually you may thrive,
If you pray wisely,
Re-examine your prayer life,
Pray effectually.
♦-2-♦
We should have appointed times of prayer,
A special place of worship prepare,
The hour and place are sacred, beware!
God is present there.
♦-3-♦
Holy and Reverend is God’s Name,
Angels veil faces as they proclaim,
His proper name, say not without aim,
‘Tis a name of fame.
♦-4-♦
In Jesus’ sweet name, your prayers commit,
Through inspiration of the Spirit,
Such prayer will be of great profit,
He’s a faithful God

Both in public and in private worship, it is our privilege to bow on our knees before the Lord when we offer our petitions to Him. Jesus, our example, ‘kneeled down, and prayed.’ Of His disciples it is recorded that they, too, ‘kneeled down, and prayed.’ Paul declared, ‘I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.’ In confessing before God the sins of Israel, Ezra knelt. Daniel ‘kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God.
