The Lords Prayer.

O Father of the World! whose Throne on high
Is plac'd in Light above the Crystal Sky,

Let all thy works thee their great Lord proclaim,
And with loud praises hymn thy sacred Name!
Let thy dear Son his promis'd Empire gain,
And over all th' obedient Nations reign!
Let Sin's and Hell's proud Kingdom soon decay,
And Earth as well as Heav'n their Lord obey!
For our frail Bodies needful food assign,
But chiefly feast our Souls with Food divine.
O thou on whose free Grace and Love we live
Forgive our Sins as others we forgive!
Save from the Tempter those who trust in Thee,
O Save at once from Sin and Misery!
Thy glorious Might no Time or Place restrain,
Thou dost, O God! to endless Ages reign!
