38. THE LORD'S PRAYER.Our heav'nly Father, whom we fear and love,Hallow'd by all thy children be thy name;Thy kingdom come—an empire without blame;Let men obey thee, like the blest above.Give us this day our daily bread; removeOur guilt, as we forgive a brother's shame;Let not temptation urge its mighty claim,Nor web of evil be around us wove;For thine the kingdom is, and thine the praise;And thine the pow'r, which no resistance knows:To thee, O God, be endless glory given.—Thus will I pray, while heart within me plays,Or tongue is free my feelings to disclose,Till I shall join the choral song in heaven.
38. THE LORD'S PRAYER.
Our heav'nly Father, whom we fear and love,Hallow'd by all thy children be thy name;Thy kingdom come—an empire without blame;Let men obey thee, like the blest above.Give us this day our daily bread; removeOur guilt, as we forgive a brother's shame;Let not temptation urge its mighty claim,Nor web of evil be around us wove;For thine the kingdom is, and thine the praise;And thine the pow'r, which no resistance knows:To thee, O God, be endless glory given.—Thus will I pray, while heart within me plays,Or tongue is free my feelings to disclose,Till I shall join the choral song in heaven.
Our heav'nly Father, whom we fear and love,
Hallow'd by all thy children be thy name;
Thy kingdom come—an empire without blame;
Let men obey thee, like the blest above.
Give us this day our daily bread; remove
Our guilt, as we forgive a brother's shame;
Let not temptation urge its mighty claim,
Nor web of evil be around us wove;
For thine the kingdom is, and thine the praise;
And thine the pow'r, which no resistance knows:
To thee, O God, be endless glory given.—
Thus will I pray, while heart within me plays,
Or tongue is free my feelings to disclose,
Till I shall join the choral song in heaven.
