Hymn
Our Heavenly Father! hear
Our heav'nly Father, hear
The prayer we offer now;
Thy name he hallowed far and near,
To Thee all nations bow.
Thy kingdom come; Thy will
On earth be done in love,
As saints and seraphim fulfill
Thy holy will above.
Our daily bread supply
While by Thy word we live:
The guilt of our iniquity
Forgive, as we forgive.
From dark temptation's pow'r,
From Satan's wiles defend;
Deliver in the evil hour,
And guide us to the end.
Thine shall forever be
Glory and pow'r divine,
The scepter, throne, and majesty,
Of heav'n and earth are Thine.
Amen.
