Lyrics

Hallow to Our Men

Our men which are above

Hallow to your craft

Your craft will come

You will have fun

On earth as you do above

Give us this day some of your manna

As this desert is no Savannah

Spare us today even if we are no good

For your world is better than ours

It's got far more knowledge

It's got far more power

You know the extent of your power

It will outlast ours

Give us this day some of your manna

As this desert is no Savannah

Spare us today even if we are no good

For your world is better than ours

For ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

For ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

And ever and ever

For ever
