The Lord’s Prayer in Verse



Almighty father! of high Heaven posses'd!


Be thy name holy, and power confess' d!


Teach us, on earth to know, and do thy will.


As Heaven's bright train thy great commands fulfil


Gracious, our daily bread of life, bestow.


And show us mercy, as we mercy show.


Guard us, from strong temptation's powerful call :


Nor, when we meet with evil, let us fall.
