Question 41


What is the Lord’s Prayer?

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Matthew 6:9

This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name…”

Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name…”

Prayer

Our Father who is in heaven,

Your name be always hallowed;

Your kingdom come, your will be done;
Your heavenly path be followed.
Give us our bread, forgive our debts,
Into temptation lead us not;
The kingdom's yours, the power too,

Your glory shall not be forgot.
