a a ae ' Selected Poetry. ay tHE LORD'S PRAYER.

eautiful poem is said to King James First, ascribed to Bishop

(The following b have been written by though by some it 15 Andrews tf avy be distressed and fain would gather Some comfort, let bim hasten unto

Our Father. For we of hope and help are quite bereaven Linke ss You succor us

Who art in heavev.

° Pw < j

Thou shewest mercy, therefore for the same We praise thee, singids

Hallowed be thy name. |

OH all our miseries cast Up the sum,

Show us the joy, and let

Thy kingdom come. We mortals are, and alter from our Dirth, Thou constant art: |

Thy will be done on earth.

Thou mad’st the earth, as well as planets

seven, {

Thy name is blessed here,§ ? As ’tis in heaven.

Nothing we have to use, or debts to pay, Except thou givest it us.

Give us this day Wnherewith to clothe us, wherewith to be

fed,

For without Thee we want

Our daily bread.

We want, but want no faulis, for no day passes

But we do sin— Forgive us our trespasses.

No wan from sinning ever free did live— Forgive us, Lord our sins, As we forgive. if we repent our faults, thou ne’er disdain- est us:

We pardon them That trespass against us,

Forgive us, that i8 past, a new path tread us: Direct us always in thy faith And lead us,

We thine own people and thy chosen natior, Into ail tfuth, bul Not into temptation ;

Thou that of all goodgra ces are the Giver, Suffer us not to wander, But deliver

Us from the fierce assauits of world, and devil And flesh, so shalt thou free us From all evii.

Po these petitious, let both church and lay- men, With one consent of heart and volce say, Amen.
