  Praying the Lord's Prayer

Our Father which art in heaven,
Our father God, all harmonious.

Hallowed be Thy name,
Adored one

Thy kingdom come.
Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present.

Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven
Enable us to know - as in heaven, so on earth - God is omnipotent, supreme.

Give us this day our daily bread.
Give us grace for today, feed the famished affections;

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And love is reflected in love;

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
And God leadeth us not into temptation, but delivereth us from from sin, disease and death.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever.
For God is infinite, all-power, all Life, Truth, Love, over all and All.
