'After this manner pray ye, and to you the promise will be blessedly fulfilled, 'Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him. 'Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. MATT. vi. 13. There is no reason to suppose that this doxology was spoken by Christ. It does not occur in any of the oldest and most authoritative manuscripts of Matthew's Gospel.
"But now it's bedtime, so let us first of all thank our heavenly Father for our happiness and then go to bed. We all need a refreshing sleep." For a few minutes they all listened devoutly as Aunt Janice read the Twenty-third Psalm, after which they joined her in prayer and in the singing of the doxology.
I know of a woman who was much given to worrying. She made it a rule to sing the long-meter doxology whenever things seemed not right. Ofttimes she could hardly get her lips shaped up to begin the first words. But she would persist. And by the time the fourth line came it was ringing out and her atmosphere had changed without and within. This was David's rule.
"Help me." "Yes, yes. How, baby? The doctor will be here any " "You don't know what I mean. No matter what I say, you don't know what I mean. Isn't that terrible?" "Help you to get well, that's what mamma and papa are going to do." "No, no, no! Help me out up!" Presently Lilly fell asleep. To her watching parents her light and regular breathing took on the meter of a Doxology.
And when they sang, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow!" my voice soared fervently in the words, for I had satisfied myself by much craning of the neck that Solon Denney was not present. Even now the Doxology revives within me that mixed emotion of relief at his absence and apprehension for the approaching encounter with her.
One of the Princeton coaches came into the room out of this mob, and holding up his arm for silence said, "'Boys, I want you to sing the doxology."
He tried to jine in, but he had to give it up and wait for the doxology. "After meetin' broke and we was goin' home, me and Abram had to pass by Silas Petty's wagon.
"There's others he wants to see first or you'd have no trouble in talking business to-day. You nor no other man will ever get him alive." But Whispering Smith knew that. "See that he doesn't get you alive, Rebstock," was his parting retort. "If he finds out Kennedy has got the Tower W money, the first thing he does will be to put the Doxology all over you."
We ask for final deliverance from the power and effects of all evil. We look forward to an abode with God where no evil can come to us. The Doxology. "For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. This is an ascription of praise showing that in God is vested all power and glory, that there is no kingdom above His kingdom and that He is supreme over all.
This was a mere Doxology, opening: 'Magnified and sanctified be His great name in the world which He hath created according to His will. May He establish His kingdom during your life and during your days, and during the life of all the house of Israel, even speedily and at a near time, and say ye Amen. As to the Messianic idea of the Kingdom of God, something will be said in the next chapter.
