Our Father God, Thy Name We Praise
Words: Leenaerdt Clock, translated by Earnest A. Payne
Music: Geistliche Lieder
Our Father God, Thy name we praise,
To Thee our hymns addressing,
And joyfully our voices raise,
Thy faithfulness confessing.
Assembled by Thy grace, O Lord,
We seek fresh guidance from Thy Word.
Now grant anew Thy blessing.
Touch, Lord, the lips that speak for Thee;
Set words of truth before us,
That we may grow in constancy,
The light of wisdom over us.
Give us this day our daily bread;
May hungry souls again be fed;
May heavenly food restore us.
Lord, make Thy pilgrim people wise,
The gospel message knowing,
That we may walk with lightened eyes
In grace and goodness growing.
The righteous must Thy precepts heed;
Thy word alone supplies Their need,
From heaven their succor flowing.
As with each other here we meet,
Thy grace alone can feed us,
As here we gather at Thy feet
We pray that thou wilt heed us.
The power is thine, O Lord divine,
The kingdom and the rule are thine.
May Jesus Christ still lead us!
