All right, Matthew 6 and verse
9. After this manner, therefore,
pray ye, 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 this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. and lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen. You know, our Lord says there
in verse 9, after this manner, therefore pray ye. And what he's
saying, this is the way you are to pray. Don't pray like the
hypocrites prayed, to be seen of men, to be heard of men. Love
to pray standing on the street corners and in the synagogues.
And don't use vain repetitions thinking they'll be heard for
the much speaking. But this is the way you approach
God, for your father. First thing you do is you call
him your father. You have this glorious, blessed,
intimate relationship with God. And as a father, and I told you,
I think what I said, nine times or something like that, the word
father is in this chapter. And so he's shown us what an
intimate, glorious relationship we have with him. We're his children. We're his children by election.
We're his children by redemption. We're his children by promise.
We're his children by adoption. We're his children. He made us
his children. There are seven petitions in this prayer, and
tonight I want to talk about that first one, hallowed be thy
name. But there are seven petitions, seven things that's asked for
in this prayer. The first one is, hallowed be
thy name. The second one is, give us this day our daily bread. The second one is, thy kingdom
come. The third is, thy will be done
in heaven. in earth as it is in heaven.
Third one is, give us this day our daily bread. The fourth one
is, forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. The fifth
one is, excuse me, the sixth one is, lead us not into temptation.
And the seventh one is, deliver us from evil. And then we attribute
all the glory and power to Him. But the reason the first petition
here is, hallowed be thy name. The first thing we say. The first
thing we ask God to do. His hallowed be thy name. We
say, Our Father, You're in heaven. You're in heaven. We're on earth.
That's why we let our words be few. That's why we're very cautious in how we conduct ourselves. Because God's in the heavens.
Don't enter into the tabernacle and offer the sacrifice of fools.
Don't rush into His presence and be careful of what you say
on earth. For God is in the heavens and you're on the earth. And
this is the first one is here to teach us, hallowed be thy
name, to teach us that hallowing God's name is to be preferred
before everything else. Before we pray, give us this
day our daily bread. Before we pray, lead us not into
temptation. Before we pray, deliver us from
evil. The first thing we pray is God
bless your holy name. Blessed be your name. Your name
is holy. Your name's glorious. We pray that God's name be honored,
God's name be sanctified by us while we're in this world. In
our words, in what we say about Him. We don't want to take the
Lord's name in vain. God said, oh, don't take my name
in vain. Don't take it uselessly, senselessly. And so we want to hallow God's
name, honor God's name, sanctify God's name in the words that
we say about Him. We want our words about Him to
be right. And we want Him sanctified and
hallowed His name in our hearts. We want to understand in our
hearts that God is holy, that God is glorious, that God is
sanctified. And in our lives, we want to
honor Him in our lives. You know when the angels sang,
when they announced the birth of Christ, the first thing they
said, they sang praises unto God. That's the first thing they
said. And there was a heavenly hope.
And the angel appeared with the heavenly host and he said, singing,
Praise this unto God. The next thing they said was,
Glory be to God in the highest. Now that's what angels do. How
much more should we? Angels haven't been redeemed.
Angels haven't been saved. Christ didn't die for angels.
But he died for us. And so the first thing we do
when we call on God, Hallowed be thy name. Hallowed be thy
name. It's preferred to us to be preferred
before life. Before life itself. We pray this
before we say, give us this bread. You see, God's glory is the most
important thing for us in this world. When our Lord Jesus Christ,
He said, you know what the first and great commandment is? You
know what it is? You know what our Lord said it
was? Love the Lord thy God with all your heart, with all your
soul, with all your mind, with all your strength. Loving. Loving. And hallowed be thy name. That's the first, the great petition.
And it contains the most weighty thing. The most weighty thing,
which is the glory of God. God's glory. God's blessed name.
Now there'll come a time. There'll come a time when we
will cease to pray for this. And there'll be things that we
won't pray for. There'll come a time when we will cease to
pray. Give us this day. That means give us what we need
for today. We'll never pray for forgiveness
again. We'll never pray not to lead us in and keep us from going
into temptation. We'll never pray, Lord deliver
us from this evil, this sin, this awful nature we've got.
There'll come a time we'll never pray for those things again.
We'll never pray for a loved one again. There'll come a time
we'll never pray for somebody that will be saved. There'll
come a time we'll never pray for grace again. But there'll
never be a time, never be a time when we won't holler His name.
When we get in glory, you know what we're going to be doing?
Huh? Look in Revelation 5 and I'll show you. Look in Revelation
5. We'll still sing glory to God. We'll still hallow His name. We'll still sanctify His name. We'll still bless His glorious
name. Revelation 5, 13. Oh, we'll still
sing glory to God. We won't pray for faith anymore.
We won't pray to love anymore. We won't ask for anything. But we will hallow God's holy
name. Look what it says in verse 13.
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and
under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that
are in them. Heard I say, Blessing, and honor,
and glory, and power be unto him that setteth upon the throne,
and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever." Everything that breathes,
whines, and wriggles is going to be praising God's holy name.
So, O Hallel, Hallel, what is it to say that it is to set God's
name above everything? Hallel would be thy name. Thy
name. And when we talk about God's
name, that means, what is it? What's meant by God's name? That
means His very essence, His very nature. You know, He's You know,
the God of Jacob, his name be your defense, he says. God is
known by his name. Now, the God that's known today,
you know, as they present him, I don't know him. But the God
of the Bible, His essence is His nature. His name is His power. His name is His glory. His name
is His honor. His name is His power. His name
is His wisdom. His name is His glory. His name
is His honesty. His name is what He does and
what He is. Huh? You know Moses stopped and said,
what am I going to tell them? Who am I going to tell them is
shitting me when you tell me to go down and tell your people? Just
say, I am that I am. Nobody else can say that. I am
that I am. What else can you say? I am. I am before everything
was. I am what everything is. I am
with everything. Jesus, I am. That's what he says. Oh, He's known by His attributes,
His character, His wisdom, His power, His holiness. You see, His holiness goes before
everything people talk about. His love, God, His love, God,
His love, God, His love. But you can't put love before
all of His attributes. But you can put holy in front
of all of His attributes. His holy wisdom. His holy love,
His holy goodness, His holy wrath, His holy anger. Everything you
can put holy in front of it is holy goodness. And oh, how good
He is. Oh, when Moses said, I want to
see your glory. That's what he wants, I want
to see your glory. God said, you know what He said?
He said, I'll cause my goodness to pass before you. And I will declare the name of
the Lord before you. And oh my, when men go into eternity,
when men, when this world is sent and done, will there be
anybody that will be able to say, God wasn't good to me. In fact, His name is so glorious
that it is by Him we live, move, and have our being. Oh, no wonder
we hallow His name. No wonder we sanctify His name.
No wonder we say, Blessed be His name. And His name, it's
His name by which we trust. It's His name by which we hide
it. The name of the Lord is a strong
tower. And the righteous run into it,
and where they're at, they're safe. How many times do we run into
the name of the Lord? Oh, hide me, Lord. Hide me right
here in your name. Hide under the shadow of the
name of the Almighty. And oh, when we talk about hallowing
his name, what is it to hallow his name? What is it to set apart
and sanctify his holy name? Well, to hallow something means
to be. It means to set it apart. Set apart a thing from a common
use. to use it for sacred purposes.
It's like when Aaron was first made the high priest. You can
read in Exodus 29 where it says, and they hallowed the high priest.
They set him apart. The only reason that God made
him the high priest is because God said, Aaron and the sons
of Levi. God said, Aaron's going to be
my first high priest. But I've got to hallow him, I've
got to sanctify him, I've got to make him holy, and I'm going
to take this common man And I'm going to set him apart. And they
went through a ritual of washings, and anointings, and dressing
him, and coming into the presence of God, and often sacrifices
to set him apart to that office. And our Lord Jesus Christ said,
I said it. I said it to find myself. What
did he mean by that? I set myself apart for the use
of God, for the sacrifice of His people, for the love of God,
and the pleasure of God, and to save my land. And oh, listen,
all the vessels of the sanctuary. You know, there's all kinds of
glasses in Israel. All kinds of pots in Israel.
All kinds of labors in Israel. But when God said, I want that
glass right there, you make a glass. And you make me a vessel, you
make me a spoon, you make me some tongs, you make me... and
I want it used for nothing else but in that tabernacle in the
service of God. But you can go in any house in
Israel and have exactly the same thing. What made the difference
in them? God said, this is mine over here. And that's what we
do by His name. His name, we set it apart, not
for common use. We don't use His name like everybody
else would use His name. We're not going to say, sweet
little Jesus boy. We're not going to call God by
some of the names that people in this world call Him by and
bring Him down until it makes you cringe inside to hear Him
use His name. We're not going to use it to
belittle it, walk on it, step on it, and to holler God's name
is to set it apart. Set it apart from abuses. Oh,
we don't want to abuse God's name. When we even think of it,
we want to think of it in the highest manner. We want to use
it holily. We want to use it reverently.
We want to give Him the highest honor when we speak His name.
Render His name sacred. We call Him Jehovah. The Lord
Jesus Christ means Jehovah, Savior. But the Jews, they won't even
use the name Jehovah. You know what they say? His name
was so holy that they say Yahweh. Yahweh. And oh my, that's what sets it
apart. Nothing grieves us more than
to hear God's name used in a belittling, miserable, low, awful way. I don't even want to repeat some
of the ways it's used. Let's ask this question. When
can we say we hallow and sanctify God's name? Well, when we have
a high appreciation and esteem of Him, set highest in our thoughts. Oh my, do you have a high appreciation
for God and His glory and His name? Do you set Him the highest
before you in all things in this world, His holy name? The highest
in our thoughts is anything higher that we can think about. John
Calvin says, whenever you start contemplating God, whenever you
begin to think about God, you begin to think about Him and
all of His glory and all of it. The next thing you know, your
mind gets lost in it because you can't comprehend it. So He
has to be the highest in our thoughts. It means to honor,
it means to esteem Him precious. You see, He is infinite in all
of His ways. He is infinite. You know what?
We don't have a clue what infinite means. That means it's just... Just look off into space. And
there's no end to it. There's no end to it. That's what God is. There's no
end to it. There's no end to Him. There's
no end to His attributes. There's no end to His name. There's
no end to His glory. There's no end to His holiness.
There's no end to His grace. There's no end to His love. There's
no end in God. And we don't set one attribute
above another. We don't set His love. above
any of the rest of His attributes. We don't set His sovereignty
above any of the rest of His attributes. If you take one out,
you just will take all of them out. So we take God's way in. We love God the way He is. We
love Him being God. We love Him being high. We love
Him being sovereign. We love Him being righteous.
We love Him being holy. We love Him, beloved, we understand
His wrath and why He has to have wrath. We understand why, beloved, that
He is holy in His being and He's of the nature that He cannot
behold sin and look on sin, and we wouldn't have Him any other
way. We understand how that He has
only way He can save a sinner. His righteous nature cannot abide
sin. His righteous nature must punish
sin. His justice must... the soul
of a sinner then must die. And then, beloved, oh, the wisdom
in that he provided his own son, the wisdom that he provided his
own sacrifice in order for his justice to find its satisfaction
in the death of somebody else besides us. The wisdom of it. Oh, my. Would you change God
at all to save one of your children? Would you change God to save
you? If God could be changed in any
way, He would cease to be God. Isn't that right? But lots and lots of people,
they change Him. They change Him. They change
His nature. They change His attributes. They
say change His works. But God help us never to do that.
That's not honoring. That's not honoring His name.
Oh my, we honor His name and His works in creation. We don't
believe it. You can believe in evolution and creation at the
same time. They're trying to work that out now. They're trying
to work it out. You can believe in creation and
evolution at the same time. It can't be done. And they go around
here and make carbon based stuff. Say this thing here is a thousand
years old and that's ten million years old. How do they know?
They may find a bone, it's been proven fact that somebody go
put a pot in the ground and leave it there for 2 or 3 years instead
of go pick it up. See carbon dating, oh that's
400 years old. Well they just make the thing
3 or 4 years, you can go and bury it just to prove how stupid
they are. But God's work of creation, He made all things, and what
does the scripture say? And when He made it, He said
it was good. He made it and it was good. He made it and said
it's good. He may say it's good. He may
say it's good. He may say it's very good. And
that's the way we are. Everything God makes is good
and very good. And oh my, what about redemption?
Redemption, oh my God set the price for the redemption of our
souls, the redemption from us from the bondage of sin, and
He set the price, and beloved, He paid the price Himself in
the person of His blessed Son. And oh, what about His providence?
All things, just comprehend it, all things. All things. Not only is it comprehensive,
it's all things, but it's not static, it's working. Working,
working, God's working. What? Everything for our good. You know Paul, when he had that
thorn in his flesh, he prayed three times for God to take it
away. He wanted to be done with it. That's why when we have a
trial, we want to be done with it. God save us from this trial,
I want to be done with it. But you know what God said? He
said, I'm not going to save you from that. I'm not going to save
you from it. So this is the best thing in
the world for you to have that thorn in your flesh. He said,
I'm not taking it away. I'm not bringing it to this tribe.
I'm not going to stop it. I'm not going to cut it off.
I'm not pulling out that thorn. I'll put it there. And it's going
to stay there. But I tell you what I will do.
I'll give you grace sufficient to bear it. And we want it to be done with
it. God says, that's not good for you. This is what's good
for you. And this is what he does. And
anything beloved, it's all going to work out until we end up in
glory and be conformed to the image of his blessed son someday.
And we hallow his name. We hallow his name and we trust
in him. Oh, and trust in him. Trust all
them that trust in the name of the Lord. Oh, they're so blessed. Blessed are they that trust in
the name of the Lord. Nothing, absolutely nothing honors
God more than believing Him, trusting Him, confiding in Him. The Scripture says that Abraham
believed God and was strong in faith, giving glory to God, believing
that what he had promised, he was able also to perform. That's up to trust God. And you read Hebrews 11 and everything
there, without faith it's impossible to please Him. And then He starts
telling all the people, by faith Abel, by faith Enoch, by faith
Abraham, by faith Noah, By faith, Sarah by faith, Jacob by faith,
by faithfulness, and that old down there, he said, these are
the people that honor me. By faith, they believe. To honor
God, to have His name, to trust Him, to believe Him. Nothing
honors Him more. And unbelief, nothing dishonors
Him more than unbelief. He that believeth not God, as
the Scripture said, he makes Him a liar. I'll tell you something
else about how we hallow his name. A believer trusts the most
precious things, the most precious things into God's hands. In fact,
our Lord Jesus said like this, into thy hands I commend my spirit.
And that's what we do, ain't it? You know, we're living souls
and having dying bodies. Ain't that right? The Scriptures calls this a tabernacle,
calls it a tent. A frail tent, a frail body. But inside this body is who we
are. That's why no matter how old
you are, in your mind you're never as old as you look. When you look in the mirror and
you say, oh that can't be me. You say, well it is you, but
it's still, that's your physical body. But that's not who you
are inside. You don't feel like you're 80.
You don't feel like you're 70. You don't feel like you're 60.
You still feel like you're young. You still feel this youth. You
still feel this person inside you. That's your soul. That's
the person that's going to live for eternity. And beloved, what
we do is we turn this soul We took this soul and we've committed
it to Christ. And I remember Mary goes through
this genealogy and she's found these wheels and people, old
timers used to do this all the time. After bed say, well so
and so gets a blanket, so and so gets this cabinet, so and
so gets this other thing. And I commit my soul, I commit
my life, I commit my body to the Lord Jesus Christ when I
leave this world. I want God to have it all. And
that's what we do when we take somebody and we say, we commit
this body to the dust, that the soul is already going to be God. This is a martyr going there,
but this is how we live. And that's why we trust Him.
When they stoned Stephen to death, you know what his last words
were? He said, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Oh, they abused His body, but
it wasn't the body that was going to glory. It wasn't the body
that was going to glory. It was Him. It was Him, His Spirit. And oh beloved, that's why we
trust Him with the most glorious things. And never, to holler
His name, never mention His name, but with the highest reverence. Look with me at Psalm 111. You hear people call one another
reverend. The right reverend. They have
lots of people that are the right reverend. They wear funny clothes
and odd looking things. But to all
here, there's only one name that's reverend. Look in verse 9, Psalm
111. He sent redemption unto His people. He hath commanded His covenant
forever. Holy and reverend is His name. Don't ever call a man reverend.
I've never seen a reverend man. I had more reverence. I wish I was more reverent in
my behavior as more of a reverent person. More sober. But there ain't but one person
whose name is reverent. Holy and reverent is His name. So all my, I've never mentioned
His name but with the highest reverence. His name is Holy. And the scripture speaks of God
and gives Him glorious titles. He's called the Most High God.
Let me show you this. I quote this all the time. Isaiah
57. Let's just look at that a minute. You know, it gives Him these
glorious names. He called Him the Lord of Hosts, the Most High
God. But look what it says here in Isaiah
57, verse 15. I won't quote it until you get
over there and look at it. Oh, gives Him the God of glory, the
God of all grace, the God of mercies. Gives Him His glorious name.
God of fire. But Isaiah 57, 15 says, For thus
saith the High and Lofty One, that in heaven is eternity. See
how that one is capitalized? There ain't nobody else lofty
and high. Some may think they are, some may act like they are,
but they's the only one who really is. For thus saith the High and
Lofty One, capitalized, there's only one like this, that inhabits
eternity. My soul, you and I are sitting
here inhabiting just a little bit of space on this earth. Right
now I'm inhabiting this little bitty area behind this pulpit.
I cannot take up no more space than my body will take up. I
can only inhabit this little place right here. I can't be
in two places, but God inhabits eternity! Where are you going to go when He ain't? We got our little spot here,
we can't take up no more space in there, but He takes up the
heaven of heavens. Can't contain Him. Oh my! And that's why He says, He inhabits
it. And whose name, there's that
name again. That's holy. Holy. And all beloved,
to use His name lightly. Use His name lightly. In vainly
is taking His name in vain. Now, to ever tell anybody, ever
tell anybody at any time that God can't, that God won't unless
you That's to take His name lightly. That's to take His name in vain.
When the scripture says He does according to His will in the
harbours of heaven. He does His will in the heavens
and the earth and the sea and all deep places. He works all
things after the counsel of His own will. And to ever tell somebody
that God can't, God won't, God ain't gonna have the power unless
you've met Him. Unless you cooperate with Him.
What a vain, vain thing it is. You talk about bringing God down.
There's nothing holy about that. There's no power in that. There's
no wisdom in that. There's no glory in that. They
say, the glory would be ours. The power would be left up to
us. But that's why it says, Hallowed be thy name. And all beloved, we holler His
name when we worship Him with a holy spiritual worship. And
that's why we have so little flesh in our services, so little
singing. Because I'll tell you, the more
opportunity you give flesh, the more it will take over. And all
beloved, when we worship Him with a holy spiritual worship,
when we give Him the kind of worship that He Himself appoints. You know, Aaron's two sons, Nadab
and Abihu, they were the ones who were supposed to take care
of the fire for the altar. Well they decided one day they
were going to kindle their own fire and offer it. And there was a fire already
on the altar. They were supposed to just tend that fire. Well
they were going to kindle their own fire and bring it to offer
sacrifice. So God killed them both. Why? Because they didn't come,
they didn't sanctify, the scripture said in Leviticus 10, they didn't
sanctify the Lord God in their hearts. And they brought strange
fire. And what he's saying is, if you
come with any other way than he said to come, strange fire. Don't bring anything other than
spiritual worship, heart worship, the worship he appointed. To
add anything is to bring something strange. You see, it's the purity
of the worship, not the pot. Men can walk aisles all they
want to and hold sticks up and light candles. And I was telling
Mary, and I'll show you, I've seen on Sermon Audio this morning,
and they have news on there, and there's this new website
now that if you don't want to pray, you can pay $3.95 and you
can have somebody on that computer on that website pray for you.
They got Catholic prayers, they got Protestant prayers, they
got Episcopalian prayers. Any kind of person you are, you
want $3.95 a month, Dirk. And you can get somebody to say
your prayers for you. Now lay me down to sleep. Get somebody
to go say so many Hail Marys for you and just cost you $3.95
a month. You just as well do that. Cause listen, you ain't
praying anyway if you hired somebody to do it for you. You ain't worshiping
God if we don't worship Him from our heart. Huh? And it's the
purity of the worship, not the pomp. It's the purity of it. It's not
what we do in it and how we sing and how we stand up and how we
give Jesus handclaps and wave our hands and folks feel goosebumps
all over themselves. It's the purity of it. When we
give Him heart devotion, when we give Him heart worship, Paul
said, Be fervent in spirit. And that word fervent means water
that sees and boils. Showing our affections brought
over for Him. And oh, we hallow His name when
we give Him the glory and the honor of all that we do. Oh, give unto the Lord the glory
due unto His name. Never take any glory for anything
we say, anything we do, anything we do. Not unto us, David said
in Psalm 115, not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name
be glory. For thy truth and thy mercy's
sake, not unto us. What have we ever done that we
ought to be glorified for? That we'd want to take the glory
for it for what God's done? When would we ever want to take
glory for something God's done? That's why this business of rewards,
getting to heaven and getting rewards is so It's so anti-Christ. And you're going to get up there
and God's going to give you rewards and stars in your crown for something
He's done for you? Somebody's going to get more
than somebody else did because they've done more? It's God which worketh in you
both to will and to do. Huh? Oh my. And I'll tell you, look
over here in Acts 7, look in Acts 12 with me. I'll show you
somebody who didn't hallow God's name. Look what happened to him.
This is why we want to hallow God's name. We want to sanctify
it. We want to regard it as holy. Give it the highest praise in
our speech, in our word, in our heart worship. Oh my, look what
happens here in Acts 12 and verse 21. This is old Harry standing
up here. And upon a said day Herod arrayed
in royal apparel, set upon his throne, and made an oration unto
them. And the people gave a shout,
saying, It is the voice of a God, and not of a man. Now watch this. And immediately the angel of
the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory, and all
some kind of a worm, some kind of a something got in him. He
suffered and suffered until he gave up the ghost. Why? Because
he gave not God the glory. And I tell you, you let men go
through this world worshiping men, they're going to all rot to say
that they don't give God the glory. And Paul hallowed God's name,
you know what he said? By the grace of God. I am what
I am. I ain't done anything. You know
what? By the grace of God I am what
I am. You're an apostle by the grace of God. You're a preacher
by the grace of God. Do you raise the dead by the
grace of God? Do you heal the sick by the grace
of God? People being converted by the
grace of God? Or do you labor for Christ by
the grace of God? He said, I ain't done nothing. By the grace of God I am what
I am. You know what John the Baptist said when he first started
his ministry? He says, there's one coming after
me who's preferred before me. He's preferred before me. Oh,
John, you're some kind of a preacher. I've never seen anybody like
you. You're baptizing folks. Oh, they're coming to you. He
said, there's one coming after me. He's preferred before me.
You know why? Because he is before me. And
then when he got ready to leave this earth, when time was about
done for him, you know what he said? One of the last things
he said? He must increase. I must decrease. And all beloved, whenever you
start increasing, Christ is going to decrease. When you start increasing
yourself, Christ has got to come down. Ain't that right? So we want
to stay down here, Him up there. And we hallow and sanctify God's
name, and I want to show you this in closing, John 5, 23.
John 5.23. We hallow and sanctify God's
name when we give the same honor to the Son as we do to the Father. The Father, we've got to honor
the Son the same way we honor the Father. We regard Him as
the same. We hallow His holy name. John 5.22. For the Father judges no man,
but hath committed all judgment unto the Son, that all men should
honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not
the Son honors not the Father, which I say. So all we honor
the Son, we can't honor the Father, we can't holler the Father's
name without hollering the Son's name, can we? We can't sanctify
the Father's name without sanctifying the Son's name. He was the brightness
of His glory and the express image of His person. The fullness
of the Godhead dwelt in Him. And we hallow His name and sanctify
His name when we look for salvation. And we look for all that we have
for time and eternity on the merits of the Lord Jesus Christ.
On Him, His blessed person is God and man. who put away our
sin by the sacrifice of himself. And unless we honor the Son, honor the Son, give all glory
to the Son, then we don't give any glory to God at all. That's why he says, we come to
Him in the name of Christ, we come to Him in the merits of
Christ, we come to Him in the righteousness of Christ, we're
accepted in the beloved. hallowed be thy name our father indeed your name is
holy your name is precious your name is glorious your name has
all power And it's to Your name we look, and it's to You we trust. And we ask You, Lord Jesus, to
help us to always honor You, not only in our thoughts, but
in our words, in our hearts. Oh God, help us to hallow Your
name. Make regard of it as holy, high and reverent, gloriously
so. In Christ's blessed name, we
do bless you. Amen. Amen.
