Echo Poetry.

If any be distressed, and fain would gather Some comfort, let him hasten to Our Father.
For hopeless we, and helpless, all are driven, Except thou succor us, Who art in Heaven.
Thou showest mercy, therefore for the same We praise thee, singing Hallowed be thy name.
Of all our miseries cast up the sum; Show us thy joys, and let Thy Kingdom come.
We mortal are, and alter from our birth; Thou constant art, Thy will be done on earth.
Thou madest the earth as well as planets seven, Thy name be blessed here, As 'tis in Heaven.
Nothing have we to use or debts to pay, Except thou give it us. Give us this day
Wherewith to clothe us, wherewith to be fed, For without thee we want Our daily bread.
We want, but want no faults, for no day passes But we do sin— Forgive us our trespasses.
No man from sinning ever free did live; Forgive us Lord, our sins, As we forgive.
If we repent our faults, thou ne'er disdained us; We pardon them That trespass against us.
Forgive us that is past, a new path lead us; Direct us always in thy path, And lead us,
We, thine own people and thy chosen nation, Into all truth, but Not into temptation.
Thou that of all good graces art the giver, Suffer us not to wander, But deliver
Us from the fierce assaults of world and Devil, And flesh, so shalt thou free us From all evil.
To these petitions let both church and laymen, With one consent of heart and voice say, Amen.
