1 Our Father, which art in heaven:
hallowed-a be thy name.
Thy kingdom come; thy will be done:
hallowed-a be thy name.

2 On earth as it is in heaven:
hallowed-a be thy name.
Give us this day our daily bread:
hallowed-a be thy name.

3 And forgive us all our debts:
hallowed-a be thy name.
As we forgive our debtors:
hallowed-a be thy name.

4 And lead us not into temptation:
hallowed-a be thy name.
But deliver us from evil:
hallowed-a be thy name.

5 For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory:
hallowed-a be thy name.
Forever and ever, amen:
hallowed-a be thy name.

Text Information:

This lively call-and-response setting of the Lord’s Prayer, based on the King James Version, uses the opening blessing as the congregation’s refrain. This repetition is more than a convenience; it is a reminder of our abiding hope that all people will come to honor God’s name.
