Analysis of The Model Prayer
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Our Father up in Heaven,
Hallowed blessing be Your name;
Thank for all that is given,
I continue to proclaim.
For let Your Kingdom arrive,
Allowing Your will be done;
That here on earth to revive,
Like in Heaven has begun.
Give us this day daily bread,
And forgive us our debts;
As we forgive those who tread,
The ones who make idle threats.
Lead us not towards temptation,
Deliver us from evil;
Giving us the salvation,
For avoiding the devil.
Forgive others of their sin,
As Your Father forgave you;
So that He will cleanse within,
For you are faithful and true.
You have glory and power,
And a Kingdom forever;
Through each day and each hour,
A love that will not sever.
