THE LORD'S PRAYER.
Our Father, God who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come; thy will be done,
In heaven and earth the same.
Hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come; thy will be done,
In heaven and earth the same.
Give us this day our daily bread;
And oh! forgive our sins,
As every one who injures us
A ready pardon wins.
And oh! forgive our sins,
As every one who injures us
A ready pardon wins.
Oh! do not lead us in the paths
In which temptations lie;
And when beset with evil, still
Be thy deliv'rance nigh.
In which temptations lie;
And when beset with evil, still
Be thy deliv'rance nigh.

Thine is the kingdom; heaven and earth
With all their hosts are thine;
Who should oppose thy sovereign sway,
Or at thy deeds repine?
With all their hosts are thine;
Who should oppose thy sovereign sway,
Or at thy deeds repine?
Thine is the power, and we rejoice,
All goodness as thou art,
That thou hast power in earth, and heaven,
And o'er the treacherous heart.
All goodness as thou art,
That thou hast power in earth, and heaven,
And o'er the treacherous heart.
Thine is the glory! Worlds on worlds
Through all the depth of space,
With their uncounted forms of life
Are vocal in thy praise.
Through all the depth of space,
With their uncounted forms of life
Are vocal in thy praise.
Thine is the glory! angels sing
In high and rapturous strain,
Thine is the glory! we reply,
For ever more.—Amen.
In high and rapturous strain,
Thine is the glory! we reply,
For ever more.—Amen.
