[Verse 1 - unaccompanied prayer] Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done In earth as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. Forgive our sins as we forgive. Lead us not into temptation; Deliver us from evil. [Refrain - three petitions] Ask, and it shall be given. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened. [Verse 2 - midnight steps] At midnight a friend stood outside a shut door: Lend me three loaves; a traveler has come. Children were sleeping; the house was closed, Yet importunity brought bread enough. [Refrain - firmer return] Ask, and it shall be given. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened. [Bridge - father and child] Will a father answer bread with a stone, A fish with a serpent, an egg with a scorpion? Even flawed hands know how to give good gifts. How much more the Father in heaven. [Outro - close promise] Lord, teach us to pray and keep asking. The heavenly Father gives the Holy Spirit To them that ask Him.
