THE LORD'S PRAYER.
[_]

(Pl. Infant Samuel.)

Father,—my Father, through thine only Son,
Thy name be hallow'd, and thy will be done:
May earth lift high to thee her grateful voice,
And in thy kingdom Nature's realm rejoice!

22

Give me, my God, this day the bread I want,—
And to my penitence thy pardon grant:
O save me from temptation's flowery ways,
Save me from sin and evil all my days,
For thine is all the power, and thine be all the praise.
