Father of all! we bow to thee,
who dwell’st in heav’n adored;
But present still through all thy works,
the universal Lord.
|
|
For ever hallowed be thy name
by all beneath the skies;
And may thy kingdom still advance,
till grace to glory rise.
|
|
A grateful homage may we yield,
with hearts resigned to thee;
And as in heav’n thy will is done,
on earth so let it be.
|
|
From day to day we humbly own
the hand that feeds us still
Give us our bread, and teach to rest
contented in thy will.
|
|
Our sins before thee we confess;
O may they be forgiv’n!
As we to others mercy show,
we mercy beg from Heav’n.
|
|
Still let thy grace our life direct;
from evil guard our way;
And in temptation’s fatal path
permit us not to stray.
|
|
For thine the pow’r, the kingdom thine;
all glory’s due to thee:
Thine from eternity they were,
and thine shall ever be.
