Our Father who is in Heaven,
Hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come.
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not lead us into
Temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom
And the power and the glory forever.
Amen
