LyicsFATHER of all, we bow to thee,
Who dwell'st in heav'n ador'd,
But present still through all thy works,
The universal Lord.
For ever hallow'd be thy name
By all beneath the skies;
And let thy kingdom still advance
Till grace to glory rise.
A grateful homage let us yield,
With hearts resign'd to thee;
And as in heav'n thy will is done,
On earth so let it be.
From day to day we humbly own
The hand that feeds us still;
Give us our bread, and teach to rest
Contented with thy will.
Our sins before thee we confess;
O may we be forgiv'n!
As we to others mercy show,
We mercy beg from heav'n!
Still let thy grace our lives direct,
From evil guard our way,
And in temptation's fatal path
Permit us not to stray.
For thine the pow'r, the kingdom thine,
All glory's due to thee;
Thine from eternity they were,
And thine shall ever be.
