XXII. THE LORD'S PRAYER.
All thanks to Him, who taught us how to pray!So taught we beg, our heavenly Father's name,
Dominion, will, may have their rightful claim,
Be hallow'd, serv'd, obey'd: that He each day
May give us needful food, and drive away
Unkindness, danger, sin; and thus proclaim
His kingdom, power, and glory. Do not blame,
If, whom she knows “the life, the truth, the way,”
On his blest word with reverential awe
And grateful faith the Church hath aye relied,
And led and modell'd by his perfect law
Her meek devotions! Lord, by thee supplied
With light, still near the throne of grace we draw,
Thy name our safeguard, and thy word our guide!
