The Lord's Prayer is the most popular prayer of Christendom and said to date back to Jesus himself. Two of the gospels report how Jesus taught his disciples how to pray with it. The Lord's Prayer connects Christians all over the world and has been translated into many languages. It is spoken in every service, accompanied by the ringing of bells.



Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.

Amen.
