Boon shall all sin and sadness
Se lost in light and gladness,
Before Thy heavenly throne:
My soul no evil feareth;

This hope death's darkness cheereth,
That Thou in death my prayer wilt own.

TUNE 109.-" Vater Unser."

I.

OUR Father in the heavens above,
Who biddest us as brethren love,
And willest us to pray to Thee,
Grant that our prayers unfeignèd be—
Not words upon our lips alone,
But hearts ascending to Thy throne.

Thy name by us be sanctified;
With us may Thy pure word abide,
That we our lives lead holily,
And of Thy name walk worthily:
From error, Lord, preserve Thy fold ;-
Thy poor ensnared flock behold.

Thy kingdom come in this our day,
And in the ages far away:

Thy Holy Ghost with us reside e;
His gifts on us be multiplied:

The wrath and power of Satan break,

And let Thy Church Thine aid partake.

As in the heavens so here Thy will,
Lord God, may every heart fulfil :
Give patience in adversity,

And that in all we bend to Thee :
Our sinful flesh and blood control,
That from Thy will would turn the soul.
Give us our daily bread this day;
Supply our earthly need, we pray;
From war-from discord us defend,
Nor on us plague or famine send;
That we our time may spend in peace,
And from all worldly craving cease.

Forgive, Lord, all our trespasses,
That they no more may us oppress:
As we our debtors willingly
From all their trespasses set free:
Prepare us all to wait on Thee
In love unfeign'd and unity.

III.

Let us not in temptation fall:
Let not the foe our souls appal:
If he assail on either hand,

May we with strength his wiles withstand :
Well arm'd with faith-with comfort stay'd
Upon the Holy Spirit's aid.

Deliverance from all evil give ;

For yet in evil days we live.
Preserve us from eternal death:

Give comfort with our latest breath.
Oh grant us all a blissful end;

Then with Thy hand our spirits tend.

Amen our prayer be verified,—
Our faith with constant strength supplied,
That we may ne'er distrustful be
In what we thus implore of Thee ;
But asking by Thy name and word,
May say a true Amen, O Lord!

5.

TUNE 109.-" Vater Unser.”
THE Lord let all creation praise;
O all ye people, praise His name :
Great are His mercies, and His ways
Are truth, to every age the same.
Praise ye the Lord for evermore :
His mercy and His truth adore.
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

Let heaven and earth in praise unite :
Praise God above, O heavenly host!
O man redeem'd! in praise delight.
Praise ye the Lord for evermore :
His mercy and His truth adore.

6.

TUNE 205.-" Gott sorgt."

OH praise the Lord: O all ye nations, praise Him:

Oh praise His name : O all ye people, praise
Him:

For great the mercies He on us bestoweth :
Eternal truth He to His chosen showeth.
Hallelujah! oh sing we Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! oh sing we Hallelujah!
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, be given
Eternal praise by all in earth and heaven.

TUNE 75.-" Machs mit."

O FATHER blest! Thy name we sing,
Whose power all worlds upholdeth :
And Thee, O Christ, of kings the King,
Whose love our souls enfoldeth :
And Thee, O Holy Ghost, we praise;
Oh be our guide through all our days.
O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God of our salvation!

The Church on earth, the heavenly host,
Are one in adoration.

With heart and mind may we adore
Our gracious God for evermore.
