Joseph Scriven, 1855. 396 L. M. 6 l Our Father, Thou in heaven above, Who biddest us to dwell in love, As brothers of one family, And cry for all we need to Thee: Teach us to mean the words we say And from our inmost heart to pray. 2. Thy name be hallowed! Help us, Lord, To keep in purity Thy Word And lead according to Thy name A holy life, untouched by blame. Let no false teachings do us hurt, All poor, deluded souls convert. 3. Thy kingdom come! Thine let it be In time and through eternity! Oh, let Thy Holy Spirit dwell With us to rule and guide us well. From Satan’s mighty power and rage Preserve Thy Church from age to age. 4. Thy will be done on earth, O Lord, As where in heaven Thou art adored! Patience in time of grief bestow, Obedience in weal and woe; Our sinful flesh and blood control That thwart Thy will within the soul. 5. Give us this day our daily bread And all that for this life we need; From war and strife be our Defense, From famine and from pestilence, That we may live in godly peace, Unvexed by cares and avarice. 6. Lord, all our trespasses forgive That they our hearts no more may grieve, As we forgive their trespasses Who unto us have done amiss. Thus let us dwell in charity And serve each other willingly. 7. Into temptation lead us not; And when the Foe doth war and plot Against our souls on every hand, Then, armed with faith, O may we stand Against him as a valiant host, Through comfort of the Holy Ghost. 8. From evil, Lord, deliver us; The times and days are perilous. Redeem us from eternal death; And when we yield our dying breath, Console us, grant us calm release, And take our souls to Thee in peace. 9. Amen! that is, So let it be! Confirm our faith continually That we may doubt not, but believe That what we ask we shall receive; Thus in Thy name and at Thy word We say: Amen; O hear us, Lord! Martin Luther, 1539. 397 S. M. 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 holy will 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, From Satan’s wiles defend; Deliver in the evil hour And guide us to the end.
