"OUR heavenly Father, hear..."

When last in Madison a good friend gave me a 19^th century hymnbook. Its dimensions are 3" X 5.25" X 1.5" and it contains the words of 1254 hymns plus several doxologies and an appendix of "Temperance" songs. Like most such books it only contains words — there are no tunes although a tune is often suggested. It's very interesting to browse.  The example below is from the "Prayer and Praise" section:

631

The Lord's Prayer.
OUR heavenly Father, hear The prayer we offer now: Thy name be hallowed, far and near, To thee all nations bow.
Thy kingdom come; thy will On earth be done in love, As saints and seraphim fulfill Thy perfect law above.
Our daily bread supply, While by thy word we live; The guilt of our iniquity Forgive, as we forgive.
From dark temptation's power, From Satan's wiles defend; Deliver in the evil hour, And guide us to the end.
Thine, then, forevr be Glory, and power divine; The scepter, throne, and majesty Of heaven and earth, are thine.
Thus humbly taught to pray, By thy beloved Son, Through him we come to thee, and say— All for his sake be done.          Montgomery.
