Night o'er us, with its stars,--we pray
Thy love, to guard us evermore!
In grief, console; in gladness, bless;
In darkness, guide; in sickness, cheer;
Till, in the Saviour's righteousness,
Before Thy throne our souls appear!

27. P. M. Anonymous.

"Teach Us To Pray."

1 Teach us to pray!
O Father, we look up to Thee,
And this our one request shall be,
Teach us to pray!

2 Teach us to pray!
A form of words will not suffice,
The heart must bring its sacrifice:
Teach us to pray!

3 Teach us to pray!
To whom shall we Thy children turn?
Teach Thou the lesson we would learn,
Teach us to pray!

4 Teach us to pray!
To Thee alone our hearts look up,
Prayer is our only door of hope,
Teach us to pray!

28. S. M. Montgomery.

"After This Manner Pray Ye."

1 Our Heavenly Father, hear
The prayer we offer now:
Thy name be hallowed far and near,
To Thee all nations bow.

2 Thy kingdom come; Thy will
On earth be done in love,
As saints and seraphim fulfil
Thy perfect law above.

3 Our daily bread supply,
While by Thy word we live;
The guilt of our iniquity
Forgive as we forgive.

4 From dark temptation's power
Our feeble hearts defend;
Deliver in the evil hour,
And guide us to the end.

5 Thine, then, forever be
Glory and power divine;
The sceptre, throne, and majesty
Of heaven and earth are Thine.

29. C. M. C. Wesley.

"Thy Kingdom Come."

1 Father and God of all mankind,
And all the hosts above,
Let every understanding mind
Unite to praise Thy love.

2 Thy kingdom come, with power and grace,
To every heart of man;
Thy peace, and joy, and righteousness,
In all our bosoms reign.

3 The righteousness that never ends,
But makes an end of sin;
The joy that human thought transcends,
Now to our souls bring in:

4 The kingdom of established peace,
Which can no more remove;
The perfect powers of godliness,
The omnipotence of Love.
