The Lord's Prayer I

* * * Father,
thou who in the heavens dwellest,
honour'd in the joy of glory,
be for thy works hallow'd
thy name by the children of men.
Thou art Preserver of men ;
come thy kingdom amply,
and be thy steadfast will
exalted under heaven's roof,
as well as on the spacious earth.
Give us to-day
firm prosperity,
our bread,
(Helper of men !)
the everlasting,
just Creator !
Let not temptations us
strike too strongly,
but do thou us freedom give,
Ruler of nations !
from every evil,
for evermore.
