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 forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
        but deliver us from evil;
For Yours is the kingdom, the power,
           and the glory forever.  Amen
