I name Thy hallowed name,
I bring Thee a new day;
Lord, keep my life from sin and shame,
And teach me how to pray.
Thy kingdom come to me,
And build within my heart
A shrine for me, a throne for Thee,
A temple set apart.
Thy will be done by me
In little things, close by,
That so my home on earth may be
More like Thy Heav’n on high
Give me my bread today,
Enough to keep me strong,
Enough to share; and help me pray
For those who do me wrong.
If any tempt me, lead
To purer air above;
Thy power is gentle in our need,
Thy glory is Thy love.
