Both now and ever be.
The Prayer is commended for its authorship, its efficacy, its perfection, the order of its parts, its brevity, and its necessity.
The following paraphrase, which has been set to music as a duet, is of more recent origin:—
Our Heavenly Father, hear our prayer:
Thy name be hallowed everywhere;
Thy kingdom come; on earth, thy will,
E’en as in heaven, let all fulfill;
Give this day’s bread, that we may live;
Forgive our sins as we forgive;
Help us temptation to withstand;
