The Lords Prayer.
OUr Father which in heaven art.
And mak'st us all one brotherhood,
To call upon thee with one heart,
Our heavenly Father and our God:
Grant we pray not with lips alone,
But with our hearts deep sigh and grone.
Thy blessed Name be sanctifi'd,
Thy holy word might us inflame,
In holy life for to abide
To magnifie thy holy Name.
From all errours defend and keep
The little flock of thy poor sheep.
Thy kingdom come even at this hour,
And henceforth everlastingly:
Thine holy Ghost into us pour,
With all his gifts most plenteously.
From Satans rage and filthy band
Defend us with thy mighty hand.
Thy will be done with diligence,
Like as in heaven in earth also:
In trouble grant us patience,
Thee to obey in wealth and wo.
Let not flesh, bloud, or any ill,
Prevail against thy holy will.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And all other good gifts of thine:
Keep us from war, and from bloudshed,
Also from sickness, dearth, and pine:
That we may live in quietness,
Without all greedy carefulness.
Forgive us our offences all,
Relieve our careful conscience;
As we forgive both great and small
Which unto us have done offence.
Prepare us, Lord, for to serve thee
In perfect love and unitie.
O Lord, into temptation
Lead us not; when the fiend doth rage,
To withstand his invasion
Give power and strength to every age.
Arm and make strong thy feeble host
With faith, and with the holy Ghost.
O Lord, from evil deliver us,
The days and times are dangerous:
From everlasting death save us,
And in our last need comfort us:
A blessed end to us bequeath,
Into thy hands our souls receive.
For thou, O Lord, art King of kings,
And thou hast power over all:
Thy glory shineth in all things,
In the wide world universal.
Amen, let it be done, O Lord,
That we have pray'd with one accord.
