The Lord's Prayer: Fifth petition
John Wesley • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 6:9
Verse 1
Eternal, spotless Lamb of God, Before the world’s foundations slain, Sprinkle us ever with Thy blood; O cleanse, and keep us ever clean! To every soul (all praise to Thee!) Our bowels of compassion move; And all mankind by this may see God is in us; for God is love.
Verse 2
Giver and Lord of life, whose power And guardian care for all are free, To Thee, in fierce temptation’s hour, From sin and Satan let us flee; Thine, Lord, we are, and ours Thou art, In us be all Thy goodness showed; Renew, enlarge, and fill our heart With peace, and joy and Heaven, and God.
Verse 3
Blessing and honor, praise and love Co-equal, co-eternal Three, In earth below, and Heaven above, By all Thy works, be paid to Thee! Thrice Holy! Thine the kingdom is, The power omnipotent is Thine; And when created nature dies, Thy never-ceasing glories shine.
