The Lord's Prayer Poem by John Bowring

'Teach us to pray!' attentive at His word,
His true disciples listened to their Lord.
And these the gracious sounds which He repeated:
'Father! our Father! who in heaven art seated,
Be thy name hallowed, let thy Kingdom come,
E'en as in heaven in this our earthly home;
Thy will be ever done. Our wants relieve,
And daily, daily bread in mercy give;
Forgive our debts, as to our debtors we
Would theirs forgive, and not less cheerfully.
Save us from all temptation. Strength divine!
The kingdom, power, and glory all be Thine.'
