Our Father, God in heaven above,
we are your family through your love.
Your name be hallowed: help us, Lord,
to keep in purity your word.
Your kingdom come: yours let it be
in time, and through eternity.

And may your will on earth be done
as it is done before your throne.
Curb flesh and blood and every ill
that sets itself against your will.
Give us this day our daily bread,
whatever for this life we need.

Forgive us all our sins, we pray;
take all their burdening guilt away,
as we the sins of those forgive
who us by their offences grieve.
When testing comes on every hand,
Lord, give us strength that we may stand.

Deliver us from evil days;
throughout our lives, protect our ways.
And when we die, grant calm release,
and take us home to you in peace.
Thus in your name and at your word
we say: Amen, O hear us, Lord.
