Hallowed be thy Name
Thy name be hallowed, e'en thy Holy name,That dwells forever on thy children's tongue;
On earth may all thy saints its praise proclaim,
As in thy heavens Thou art forever sung;
Thou art forever worthy! Thou art king!
The Great, All Holy, ever righteous Lord!
Let all thy children praise and homage bring,
And in their song let every note accord;
Praise Him! for He is great, his praise prolong
On every harp ye strike around his throne;
Join every living voice! come join the song,
What praise can all your Father's goodness own;
Come, throw your crowns and garlands at his feet,
And his new name let every tongue repeat.
Poem No. 714; fall 1838–summer 1839
