1 Our heav'nly Father, hear,
the prayer we offer now;
thy name be hallowed far and near,
to thee all nations bow.
2 Thy kingdom come; thy will
on earth be done in love,
as saints and seraphim fulfil
thy perfect law above.
3 Our daily bread supply,
while by thy word we live;
the guilt of our iniquity
forgive as we forgive.
4 From dark temptation's power,
from Satan's wiles, defend;
deliver in the evil hour
and guide us to the end.
5 Thine, then, forever be
glory and power divine;
the sceptre, throne, and majesty
of heav'n and earth are thine.
