OUR FATHER who is in heaven,
May Your name be praised.
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done
Here on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today all that we need to live,
Forgive us and teach us how to forgive.
Help us not to follow in ways that are evil.
For Thine is the kingdom,
The power and the glory,
For ever and ever, Amen.
