e This day be bread and peace my lot :
All else beneath the sun

Thou know'st if best bestowed or not;
And let thy will be done.

To thee, whose temple is all space,
Whose altar earth, sea, skies,
One chorus let all being raise!
All nature's incense rise!

1 COME, kingdom of our God,
Sweet reign of light and love!
Shed peace, and hope, and joy abroad,
And wisdom from above.

2 Over our spirits first

Extend thy healing reign;

There raise and quench the sacred thirst,
That never pains again.

Come, kingdom of our God!

And make the broad earth thine; Stretch o'er her lands and isles the rod That flowers with grace divine.

4 Soon may all tribes be blest

With fruit from life's glad tree;
And in its shade like brothers rest,
Sons of one family.

5 Come, kingdom of our God!
And raise thy glorious throne
In worlds by the undying trod,
Where God shall bless his own.

WESLEY'S COL

"Thy kingdom come."

1 FATHER of me and all mankind,
And all the hosts above,
Let every understanding mind
Unite to praise thy love.

2 Thy kingdom come, with power and grace,
To every heart of man;
Thy peace, and joy, and righteousness
In all our bosoms reign.

3 The righteousness that never ends,
But makes an end of sin;

The joy that human thought transcends,
Into our souls bring in ;

4 The kingdom of established peace,
Which can no more remove;
The perfect powers of godliness,
The omnipotence of love.

The Lord's Prayer.

MONTGOMERY.

1 OUR heavenly Father, hear

The prayer we offer now:

Thy name be hallowed far and near;
To thee all nations bow.

2 Thy kingdom come; thy will
On earth be done in love,
As saints and seraphim fulfil
Thy perfect law above.

3

Our daily bread supply,
While by thy word we live;
The guilt of our iniquity

Forgive as we forgive.

4 From dark temptation's power
Our feeble hearts defend;
Deliver in the evil hour,
And guide us to the end.

5 Thine, then, for ever be
Glory and power divine;
The sceptre, throne, and majesty
Of heaven and earth are thine.

1 OUR Father, high enthroned above,
With boundless glory crowned;
Fountain of light, and life, and love,
Ten thousand worlds around!

2 Supremely honored be thy name,
By every grateful mind,
Whether a pure, ethereal flame,
Or yet in flesh confined.

3 Erect thine empire, gracious King,
And spread its power abroad ;
Till earth, and all her millions, sing
The praises of their God.

4 O, be thy will on earth obeyed,
As 't is obeyed above,

And the profoundest homage paid,
With all the joys of love.

5

"These are for ever thine," in songs Heaven's blissful myriads cry;

"These are for ever thine," our tongues In humbler notes reply.

Prayer.

1 OUR Father! throned above the sky, To thee our empty hands we spread; Thy children at thy footstool lie,

And ask thy blessings on their head.

2 Let mercy all our sins dispel,

As clouds before the solar beam; Our souls from bondage and from hell To liberty and life redeem.

3 With cheerful hope and filial fear,
In that august and precious name
By thee ordained, we now draw near,
And would the promised blessing claim.

4 Yes, we will ask, and seek, and press
For gracious audience to thy seat;
Still hoping, waiting for success,
If persevering to entreat.

5 For Jesus, in his faithful word,

The patient supplicant has blest ;
And all thy saints, with one accord,
The prevalence of prayer attest.

BEHOLD what wondrous grace
The Father has bestowed
On sinners of a mortal race,

To call them sons of God!

Nor doth it yet appear

How great we must be made;
But, when we see our Saviour here,
We shall be like our head.

If in my Father's love

I share a filial part,

Send down thy Spirit like a dove
To rest upon my heart.

We would no longer lie

Like slaves beneath the throne;
My faith shall Abba, Father, cry,
And thou the kindred own.

1 "THY will be done!" In devious way The hurrying stream of life may run ; Yet still our grateful hearts shall say, "Thy will be done!"

2

"Thy will be done!"

If o'er us shine

A gladdening and a prosperous sun, This prayer will make it more divine, "Thy will be done!"
