Lyrics
The Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us as we forgive Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory Forever, and ever and ever and ever
