Matthew 6:9–13: Father of earth and sky

Father of earth and sky,
Thy name we magnify:
O that earth and heaven might join
Thy perfections to proclaim,
Praise the attributes Divine,
Fear, and love Thy awful name!.

When shall Thy Spirit reign
In every heart of man?
Father, bring the kingdom near,
Honour Thy triumphant Son,
God of heaven, on earth appear.
Fix with us Thy glorious throne.

Thy good and holy will,
Let all on earth fulfil:
Men with minds angelic vie.
Saints below with saints above,
Thee to praise and glorify,
Thee to serve with perfect love.

This day with this day's bread
Thy hungiy children feed.
Fountain of all blessings, grant
Now the manna from above.
Now supply our bodies' want,
Now sustain our souls with love.

Our trespasses forgive;
And when absolved we live,
Thou our life of grace maintain;
Lest we from our God depart,
Lose Thy pardoning love again,
Grant us a forgiving heart.
In every fiery hour
Display Thy guardian power,
Near in our temptation stay,
With sufficient grace defend.
Bring us through the evil day,
Make us faithful to the end.
Father, by right Divine,
Assert the kingdom Thine;
Jesus, Power of God, subdue
Thine own universe to Thee;
Spirit of grace and glory too,
Reign through all eternity.

Father who art in heaven.
The' omnipotent I AM,
Homage Divine be given
To Thy most holy name;
Thine attributes and nature
Let all Thy works display,
And praise their great Creator
Through one eternal day.

Our first and last desire
That all our God may own,
Thy majesty admire.
And worshij) at Thy throne;
That all may bow before Thee,
Jesus, Thy power assume.
And manifest Thy glory.
And let Thy kingdom come.

The virtue of Thy Spirit
To every soul impart,
And let us here inherit
The kingdom in our heart,
The evangelic blessing.
Inviolable peace.
Celestial joy increasing,
And finish'd holiness.

Thy kingdom's restoration
O might we feel within.
Thine uttermost salvation
Exterminating sin!
Let sin and Satan's power
At Thy appearing fall,
And all on earth adore
The glorious Lord of all.

Thy Spirit of inspiration
Pour out on all below,
And perfect renovation
Our ruin'd earth shall know,
The nations all shall bless Thee
In that millennial day,
And every tongue confess Thee,
And every heart obey.

The fulness of Thy graces,
Of Thy own Godhead give,
And in Thy kind embraces
Our fallen race receive:
Through love's most large effusion
Let us the Promise find.
The general restitution.
The life of all mankind.

Thy kingdom's fruits mature
O that we all may bring,
Obedience full and pure,
And worthy of our King!
Thy holy will be ours.
Thy holy will alone.
As by the heavenly powers,
By all on earth be done.

No pause or intermission
The' angelic service knows.
While the transporting vision
Their vast reward bestows.
With that enraptured choir
Let every creature gaze,
And earth and heaven conspire
In Thy eternal praise.

While in the flesh Ave tarry.
We ask our daily bread:
With all things necessary
Thy crying children feed:
And while Thou spread'st a table
Our bodies to supply.
With meat imperishable
Sustain us from the sky.

Father, for Jesus' merit
To the unworthy give
That strength-restoring Spirit,
By whom we truly live;
Send down the gracious shower,
The manna from above,
And now and evermore
Refresh our souls with love.

On us bestow the pardon
Bought by His precious blood,
Who paid the utmost farthing
We to Thy justice owed;
The peace and consolation
Incomprehensible,
The knowledge of salvation
To all our hearts reveal.

Pardon'd without condition.
Our debtors we release,
With free and full remission
Of all their trespasses:
The bowels of our Saviour
As we to them extend,
Preserve us in Thy favour
And pardon to the end.

From trials unexempted
Thy dearest children are;
But let us not be tempted
Above what we can bear;
Exposed to no temptation
That may our souls o'erpower,
Be Thou our strong salvation
Through every fiery hour.

Ah! leave us not to venture
Within the verge of sin;
Or if the snare we enter
Thy timely help bring in:
And if Thy wisdom try us,
Till pain and life are pass'd,
Almighty Love stand by us.
And save from first to last.

Deliver us from evil,
From every evil here,
The world, the flesh, the devil,
His works and character:
A total abolition
Of all his works I see
Comprised in this petition,
And promised. Lord, to me.

Fain would we cease from sinning.
In thought and word and deed,
From sin in its beginning
We languish to be freed:
From every base desire.
Our fallen nature's shame,
Jesus, we dare require
Deliverance in Thy name.

For every sinful action
Thou hast atonement made,
The rigid satisfaction
Thy precious blood has paid;
But take entire possession;
To make an end of sin.
To finish the transgression,
Most holy God, come in.

The mind of earthly savour,
The carnal enmity,
Which hates our God and never
Can subject prove to Thee,
The old rebellious nature
With all its relics slay.
Appear our New-Creator,
And bring the perfect day.

Fulfilling Thy own prayer,
Destroy this fleshly mind;
Sin by the roots uptear,
No evil leave behind.
This huge enormous mountain
Of inbred guilt remove,
Dry up corruption's fountain,
And fill our souls with love.

Essence of holinesses,
Jesus, Thou only art
With plenitude of graces
Inhabiting the heart:
Tis thus Thou dost deliver
Thine own in Thee secure,
And keepest us for ever
From all pollution pure.
