The Lord’s Prayer in Old English  

Fæder ure þu þe eart on heofonum; 

Si þin nama gehalgod to becume þin rice 

gewurþe ðin willa 

on eorðan swa swa on heofonum.  

urne gedæghwamlican hlaf syle us todæg 

and forgyf us ure gyltas 

swa swa we forgyfað urum gyltendum 

and ne gelæd þu us on costnunge 

ac alys us of yfele soþlice

Our Father which art in heaven,  

Hallowed be thy name.  

Thy kingdom come.  

Thy will be done in earth,  

As it is in heaven.  

Give us this day our daily bread.  

And forgive us our debts 

As we forgive our debtors.  

And lead us not into temptation  

But deliver us from evil…
