Hymn
Our Father in Heaven
Our Father in Heaven,
We hallow thy name!
May thy kingdom holy
On earth be the same!
Oh, give to us daily
Our portion of bread;
It is from thy bounty
That all must be fed.
Forgive our transgressions,
And teach us to know
That humble compassion
That pardons each foe;
Keep us from temptation,
From weakness and sin;
And thine be the glory
Forever, amen!
