We would thy Ever-glorious Name, As Holy, with Great Fear Adore: And wish that All may in the same, Thy Holy One Praise Evermore.
May thy Just Kingdom Come, we Pray; That thou art the Worlds King, we know: But, Oh! bring on that Happy Day, When all the World shall own Thee so.
May we thy Righteous Will approve, And it all Things commanding see, As it in the New Heaven above, And the New Earth below, shall be.
Lord, Give us a Convenient Food; What may be Such, to Thee we leave, And let us not want any Good; All we Rely on Thee to give.
Our Faults, by which we are in Debt To Thy dread Justice, Lord, Release: Christ Pays our Debt; And we Forget, For this, our Neighbours Injuries.
