THE DAILY SACRIFICE.

WE are the children & the Church our Mother
Our only Comfort is, thou art --Our Father
Thou dwells above the Spheres, and Planets ſeven,
Thy Aid is ſtrong, O GOD --Which art in Heaven
And Thou does Aid, and therefore for the lame,
We Praiſe thee. Praying, --Hallowed be thy Name
Our Foes are Mighty, whom we cannot ſhun,
Here give us Grace, and let. --Thy Kingdom come
Thy Will is Good always in Life and Death,
In croſs or loſs --Thy will be done on Earth,
Our Changes many and our Days bereaven,
Bleſt be thy Name on Earth --As it is in Heaven
Our Wants are many, LORD, we humbly Pray,
That Bread of Life, thy ſelf --Give us this Day
Our Souls refreſht, our Bodies ſtill may Feed
On what Thou giveſt, give us. --Our daily Bread
Our Debts are great, our Life away it runs,
Pardon us, O GOD -- And forgive our Sins,
Give us Grace, and Strength, ſo long's we live
Others to Pardon freely -- And forgive
Our Neighbours ſo of all Unrighteouſneſs,
We may forgive -- Them that Treſpaſs againſt us.
Our Foes are many, our Way is dangerous
Forſake us not, O LORD our GOD -- And lead us
In all our Ways, to thy Salvation.
And lead us, LORD, but -- Not into Temptation
Thou art our GOD and ſhall continue ever,
Suffer us not to periſh -- But deliver
Us from the World, Dangers and the Devil,
And Fleſh, ſo ſhall thou free -- Us from all Evil
Kingdoms on Earth, are like the fading Bloom,
Are vain and frail -- For thine is the Kingdom,
All Pow'rs are nothing but a fading ſtory,
The Angels Praiſe thy Name with -- Power and glory
So theſe Petitions, let all Church and Lay-men,
With one conſent of Heart & Voice, ſay -- AMEN
