665. Let the Words of My Mouth

Let the words of my mouth,
let the words of my mouth,
and the meditations of my heart
be acceptable in Thy sight;
Wilt Thou teach me how to serve Thee,
Wilt Thou teach me how to pray?

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heav'n.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
