Synopsis
Our Lord has left this Divine Prayer with His Church, not only as a model of all prayers, but also, as an express form of words, to be used by all the people of God, as often, as they approach the throne of grace. In obedience, therefore, to our Lord’s command, the Church of England has introduced this Prayer into all her Services, both stated and occasional. It is placed, moreover, in the Church Catechism, accompanied by a paraphrase, which explains to children what they desire of God in this Prayer; and, by our daily use of it, we realise, in its fullest sense, the Communion of Saints, seeing that the words of this Prayer have been daily repeated by God’s people, in every age of the Christian Church. Upon all these accounts, it is hoped that a plain, practical Exposition of the Lord’s Prayer will be regarded as a fit subject for a volume of The Englishman’s Library.
