n I would thy love proclaim,
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death.
437. 11s. M. Mrs. Hale.
The Lord's Prayer.
1 Our Father in heaven, we hallow thy name!
May thy kingdom holy on earth be the same!
O give to us daily our portion of bread;
It is from thy bounty that all must be fed.
2 Forgive our transgressions, and teach us to know
That humble compassion which pardons each foe:
Keep us from temptation, from weakness and sin,
And thine be the glory forever--Amen.
438. C. M. T. Whittemore.
The Same.
1 Our Father, who in heaven art,
All hallowed be thy name:
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
On earth, in heaven the same.
2 Give us this day our daily bread,
Our debts, O Lord, forgive,
As we forgive our enemies
And thus obedient live.
3 Into temptation lead us not,
From evil keep us clean;
Thine is the kingdom, glory, power
Forevermore, Amen.
439. S. M. Montgomery.
The Same.
1 Our heavenly Father, hear
The prayer we offer now:--
Thy name be hallowed far and near,
To thee all nations bow.
2 Thy kingdom come; thy will
On earth be done in love,
As saints and seraphim fulfil
Thy perfect law above.
3 Our daily bread supply,
While by thy word we live;
The guilt of our iniquity
Forgive, as we forgive.
4 From dark temptation's power
Our feeble hearts defend;
Deliver in the evil hour,
And guide us to the end.
5 Thine, then, forever be
Glory and power divine;
The sceptre, throne, and majesty
Of heaven and earth are thine.
440. C. M. Anonymous.
The Lord's Prayer.
1 O Thou, enthroned in worlds above,
Our Father and our Friend!
Lo, at the footstool of thy love,
Thy children humbly bend.
2 All reverence to thy name be given;
Thy kingdom wide displayed;
And, as thy will is done in heaven,
Be it on earth obeyed.
3 Our table may thy bounty spread,
From thine exhaustless store,
From day to day with daily bread,--
Nor would we ask for more.
4 That pardon we to others give,
Do thou to us extend;
From all temptation, Lord, relieve;
