Our walk through Lent with the Lord’s Prayer ends with the joyful celebration of the Resurrection of Our Lord. In Jesus and His resurrection God declares His “Amen” to all of our prayers.
In the Small Catechism we read: This means that I should be certain that these petitions are pleasing to our Father in heaven, and are heard by Him; for He Himself has commanded us to pray in this way and has promised to hear us. Amen, amen means “yes, yes, it shall be so.”
Thine the amen Thine the praise
Alleluias angels raise
Thine the life eternally
Thine the promise let there be
Thine the vision Thine the tree
All the earth on bended knee
Gone the nailing gone the railing
Gone the pleading gone the cry
Gone the sighing gone the dying what was loss lifted high.
Thine the glory in the night
No more dying only light
Thine the river Thine the tree
Then the Lamb eternally
Then the holy holy holy
Celebration jubilee
Thine the splendor Thine the brightness only Thee only Thee.
Thine the amen Thine the praise
Alleluias angels raise
Selected from
Thine The Amen, Thine The Praise
by Herbert F. Brokering
Prayer: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
God’s richest blessings in Christ,
Thank you for taking this Lenten/Easter Journey through the Lord's Prayer with me.
