1 Our Father, clothed with majesty,
Who, dwelling in eternity,
Hast set Thy glorious throne on high,
In Christ, Thy Son, do we draw nigh,
In humble prayer to seek Thy face
For Thy paternal love and grace.
2 Thy Name be hallowed evermore,
Till all that live on earth adore
And bless Thee, and with glad acclaim
Extol Thy virtues and Thy fame
May we, Thy children here below,
In all our deeds Thine image show.
3 Lord, may Thy Kingdom come with haste,;
Lay Satan's dark domain to waste;
And rule us by Thy precious Word,
Till everywhere Thy praise be heard.
Let all the earth Thy Name revere,
For Thou in glory shalt appear.
4 Thy will be done, Thy will alone,
On earth below as round Thy throne.
Thy precepts all are wise and true;
Thy holy will we pray to do.
May all, then, humbly stand in awe
And gladly keep Thy perfect law.
5 Give us our needful bread this day
And show Thy faithful care, we pray.
Our earthly needs Thou, Lord, dost know;
Then let on us Thy blessings flow.
Save us from want and poverty
And make our spirits rich in Thee.
6 Do not our trespasses record,
Buy freely pardon them, dear Lord,
As we, who by Thy grace must live,
Our debtors' trespasses forgive.
Yea, cleanse our hearts from every stain,
In Him who on the cross was slain.
7 Into temptation bring us not,
But guard us lest we stray, O God;
Thou knowest that our strength is mean,
Our passions foul, our hearts unclean.
How helpless, Father, we should be
If in this state cast off by Thee!
8 O fount of power, life, and light,
Deliver us from Satan's might;
His strength is great and we are frail,
Our sinful flesh is prone to fail.
Against all lust and vanity
O help us, then, and make us free.
9 For all the kingdom, Lord, is Thine,
All power and majesty divine.
Thou who wilt be our Helper near,
Who in Thy Son our pleas wilt hear,
Who hast unbarred salvation's door,
Thine be all praise forevermore.
10 Dear Father, do not hide Thy face,
For we rely upon Thy grace.
Our hearts, O Lord, who seest all,
Condemn us not whene'er we call,
But say, since Thou dost hear our plea,
"Amen, Amen, so shall it be!"
