THE LORD’S PRAYER
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.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power,
and the glory forever.
Amen.

Praise God who fills each cup and plate,
Whose table’s wide and love is great.
From broken bread, may all be fed,
And justice rise where fear has spread. Amen
