day no. 16,196 continued... the Lord's Prayer (original, metrical rendering)

Father, God who art in Heaven
Hallow-ed here be Thy Name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth, in Heaven, e’er the same

Our daily bread be pleased to give
And all our trespasses forgive
As we forgive those who trespass 
Our debtors all from first to last

And lead us not into temptation;
But from evil, us deliver 
Yours the kingdom and the power
And the glory till forever.

— The Lord’s Prayer
Postmillitant original rendering


... revised 2/27/23 while out on a walk ...

Father, God who art in Heaven
Hallow-ed here be Thy Name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth, in Heaven, e’er the same

Our daily bread to us please give
And all our trespasses forgive
As we forgive those who trespass 
Of all their debts, from first to last

And lead us not into temptation;
But from evil, us deliver 
Yours the kingdom and the power
And the glory till forever.

— The Lord’s Prayer
