Here’s another
re-working of the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6: 9-13, Luke 11: 2-4). It comes from the Alternative Service Book, 1980.
Prayer
(based on Matthew 6: 9-13, Luke 11: 2-4)
Abba, our God,
whom the heavens
disclose,
may your name be
held holy,
your authority
come.
May your longing
be fulfilled
as in heaven, so
on earth.
Give us today
the bread of
tomorrow,
and cancel our
debts
as we have
already
forgiven our
debtors.
Do not draw us in
to sinful enticement
but set us free
from the grip of
evil;
for authority and
power and glory
are yours alone,
for ever.
Amen.
