Hallowed Be Thy Name.

HALLOWED, ay, hallowed! not alone in prayer, But in our daily thoughts and daily speech; At altar and at hearth-stone—every where That temple-priests or home-apostles preach. Oh, not by words alone, but by our deeds, And by our faith, and hope, and spirit's flame, And by the nature of our private creeds, We hallow best, and glorify thy Name.

Nature doth hallow it. In every star, And every flower, and leaf, and leaping wave, She praises Thee, who, from Thy realm afar, Such stores of beauty to this fair earth gave. But these alone should not Thy love proclaim— Our hearts, our souls respond—“All hallowed be Thy Name.”
