ON THE
LORD’S PRAYER
VII
I have taught your young lips the good words to say over,
Which form the petition we call The Lord’s Prayer,
And now let me help my dear child to discover
The meaning of all the good words that are there.
“Our Father,” the same appellation is given
To a parent on earth, and a Parent of all,
O gracious permission! the God that’s in heaven
Allows His poor creatures Him Father to call.
