"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.... For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen" (Matthew 6:9-13).
Our God and Father, You are holy,
Yet You sent from heaven's throne,
Your Son, our Savior, meek and lowly,
To ransom those You call Your own!
Thus You brought Your kingdom near
When our Lord and Savior came.
Grace and truth were then made clear
When our Savior bore our shame.
Thus He taught us how to pray
As Your children by new birth,
That Your will be done today,
As in heaven, so on earth.
The first and foremost prayer, however,
Is that Your kingdom come again.
Come, Lord Jesus, reign forever;
Even so, Lord, come. Amen!
Thus we'll pray till You return
And labor till our days shall cease,
As we for Your kingdom yearn,
When Christ shall reign as Prince of Peace.
