    The Lord's Prayer

    The prayer which teaches people to pray.

    scroll down

    The Lord’s Prayer is the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples, when they asked him how they should pray.
    Most Christians know the prayer by heart in their own language, and it is used today by every Christian tradition, though there are sometimes

    minor variations in the wording. It has a place in every Anglican act of worship, and forms a pattern for prayer for Christians:

    We bless God and pray for our world, our communities and our lives to be shaped by God’s will;

    We pray for daily needs to be met,

    For forgiveness for wrongdoings, strength to resist temptation and protection from danger.

    There are two versions commonly used in the Church of England – in Contemporary and Traditional Language:

    Contemporary

    Our Father in heaven,

    hallowed be your name,

    your kingdom come,

    your will be done,

    on earth as in heaven.

    Give us today our daily bread.

    Forgive us our sins

    as we forgive those who sin against us.

    Lead us not into temptation

    but deliver us from evil.

    For the kingdom, the power,

    and the glory are yours

    now and for ever.

    Amen.

    Traditional

    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.

    For thine is the kingdom,

    the power and the glory,

    for ever and ever.

    Amen.

    Origins

    The text is found in two slightly different versions in the New Testament – Matthew 6.9–13 and Luke 11.1–4

    The passage from Luke

    Jesus was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his

    disciples.’ He said to them, ‘When you pray, say:

    Father, hallowed be your name.

    Your kingdom come.

    Give us each day our daily bread.

    And forgive us our sins,

    for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us.

    And do not bring us to the time of trial.

    The prayer as we use it today is a version that was adapted by the early Christian communities from the two Gospel texts, and it was taught in

    this form to new converts.

    The final sentence, giving glory to God, is called the doxology. It is not part of the New Testament text, but was added very early on. The Lord’s

    Prayer is occasionally said without it.

    God is approachable. Prayer is something anyone can do. You don’t have to use complicated words or flowery language. God isn’t swayed by

    arguments or by length or by skill in prayer.

    At the heart of our prayers will be words that Jesus himself taught us. It is simple enough to be memorised by small children and yet profound enough

    to sustain a whole lifetime of prayer.

    The Archbishops of Canterbury and York

    Gospel

    a) The good news of Jesus Christ; b) the records of Jesus's life and ministry in the first four books of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John); c) a

    reading from one of these four books.

    Doxology

    The ending of a traditional hymn or prayer, giving or offering glory to God, normally as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    New Testament

    The second part of the Bible which records Jesus' life, death and resurrection and the story of the early Church.

    Common Worship: Rites on the Way

    Lord of heaven and earth,

    as Jesus taught his disciples to be

    persistent in prayer,

    give us patience and courage

    never to lose hope,

    but always to bring our prayers before you;

    through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Amen.
