YAY LUTHER!

Ya I think we need a Luther Hymn.

Our Father, who from heav'n above
Has told us here to live in love
And with our fellow Christians share
Our mutual burdens and our prayer,
Teach us no thoughtless word to say
But from our inmost heart to pray.

Your name be hallowed. Help us, Lord,
In purity to keep your Word
That to the glory of your name
We walk before you free from blame.
Let no false teaching us pervert;
All poor deluded souls convert.

Your kingdom come. Guard your domain
And your eternal righteous reign.
The Holy Ghost enrich our day
With gifts attendant on our way.
Break Satan's pow'r, defeat his rage;
Preserve your Church from age to age.

Your gracious will on earth be done
As it is done before your throne,
That patiently we may obey
In good or bad times all you say.
Curb flesh and blood and ev'ry ill
That sets itself against your will.

Gve us this day our daily bread
And let us all be clothed and fed.
From warfare, rioting, and strife,
Disease, and famine save our life
That we in honest peace may live,
To care and greed no entrance give.

Forgive our sins, let grace outpour
That they may trouble us no more;
We too will gladly those forgive
Who harm us by the way they live.
Help us in each community
To serve with love and unity.

Lead not into temptation, Lord,
Where our grim foe and all his horde
Would vex our souls on ev'ry hand.
Help us resist, help us to stand
Firm in the faith, armed with your might;
Your Spirit give your children light.

Deliver us from evil days,
From every dark and trying maze;
Redeem us from eternal death,
Console us when we yield our breath.
Give us at last a blessed end;
Receive our souls, O faithful friend.

Amen, that is, it shall be so.
Make our faith strong that we may know
We need not doubt but shall receive
All that we ask, as we believe.
On your great promise we lay claim.
Our faith says amen in your name.
