A New Year’s Prayer for 1921

By L. Lula Greene Richards

Father, who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name!
As Jesus taught the humble
Who to His presence came,
Joseph, Thy modern Prophet,
Hath taught Thy Saints to pray,
And thus we would approach Thee
On this great New Year’s day.

We thank Thee that Thy Kingdom
Hath come on earth again,
With Prophets and Apostles,
Devout and holy men.
Come Jesus, Heaven’s Kingdom
In light and power display,
Bring Thou with all its glory
A New Eternal Day!

(1921)
