THE LORD'S PRAYER.
“After this manner therefore pray ye.”
—Matthew, vi. 9.
Father of all! who dwell'st above,
Thy name be hallowed here;
As in those realms of peace and love,
Where saints that name revere.
Thy name be hallowed here;
As in those realms of peace and love,
Where saints that name revere.
Thy kingdom come; Thy will, alone,
Be done by man below;
As spirits round thy glorious throne,
Their pure obedience show.
Be done by man below;
As spirits round thy glorious throne,
Their pure obedience show.
Give us this day our daily bread;—
Not merely outward food,
But that whereon the soul is fed,
The source of heavenly good.
Not merely outward food,
But that whereon the soul is fed,
The source of heavenly good.
252
Forgive our trespasses, as we
In pardoning love abide;
Since none forgiveness win from Thee,
Who pardon have denied.
In pardoning love abide;
Since none forgiveness win from Thee,
Who pardon have denied.
And lead us from temptation far;
From evil, Lord! restore;
For Thine the power, the kingdom are,
The glory evermore!
From evil, Lord! restore;
For Thine the power, the kingdom are,
The glory evermore!
