The Lords Prayer (Mat. 6.7)

by George Wither 1588–1667

From The Hymnes and Songs of the Church (1623)

Religion

OUr Father which in heauen art;
We sanctifie thy Name:
Thy Kingdome come: Thy will be done
In heau'n and earth the same:
Giue vs this day our Daily bread:
And vs Forgiue thou so;
As we on them that vs offend,
Forgiuenesse doe bestow:
Into Temptation lead vs not;
But vs from euill free.
For, thine the Kingdome, powre, and praise,
Is, and shall euer be.
