The Lord's Prayer

John Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2

Verse 1

Father of all, whose powerful voice Called forth this universal frame! Whose mercies over all rejoice, Through endless ages still the same: Thou by thy word upholdest all; Thy bounteous love to all is showed; Thou hearest thy every creature's call, And fillest every mouth with good.

Verse 2

In heaven thou reign'st enthroned in light, Nature's expanse before thee spread; Earth, air, and sea before thy sight, And hell's deep gloom are open laid: Wisdom and might and love are thine; Prostrate before thy face we fall, Confess thine attributes divine, And hail thee Sovereign Lord of all.
