Our Father

The Lord’s Prayer is the prayer Jesus Himself taught. Every petition places us under the Father’s name, kingdom, will, and daily care.

Pray it slowly; these few lines contain the whole of Christian hope.

The Prayer

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. Amen.
