The Lord's Prayer: Second petition

Verse 1

Son of Thy Sire’s eternal love, Take to Thyself Thy mighty power, Let all earth’s sons Thy mercy prove, Let all Thy boundless grace adore; The triumphs of Thy love display, In every heart reign Thou alone, Till all Thy foes confess Thy sway, And glory ends what grace begun.

Verse 2

Spirit of grace, and health and power, Fountain of light and love below, Abroad Thy healing influence shower, O’er all the nations let it flow; Inflame our hearts with perfect love, In us the work of faith fulfill; So not Heaven’s host shall swifter move Than we on earth to do Thy will.

Verse 3

Father, ’tis Thine each day to yield Thy children’s wants a fresh supply, Thou cloth’st the lilies of the field, And hearest the young ravens cry: On Thee we cast our care; we live Through Thee, who know’st our every need; O feed us with Thy grace, and give Our souls this day the living bread!
