Composer:Johann M. Spiess

253. I name Thy hallowed Name

1 I name Thy hallowed Name,
I bring Thee a new day;
Lord, keep my life from sin and shame,
And teach me how to pray.

2 Thy Kingdom come to me,
And build within my heart
A shrine for me, an throne for Thee,
A temple set apart.

3 Thy will be done by me
In little things, close by,
That so my home on earth may be
More like Thy heaven on high.

4 Give me my bread today,
Enough to keep me strong,
Enough to share; and help me pray
For those who do me wrong.

5 If any tempt me, lead
To purer air above;
Thy power is gentle in our need,
Thy glory is Thy love.

Amen.
