Bach Prelude
Father in heaven, your name is holy
Your kingdom come / your will be done
Like above in your beautiful kingdom
Let it be here / below
Father, please give bread for today -
Forgive us, Father for sins and mistakes
Help us share your perfect compassion
Be with us here / below
Chorus:
Father who lives in heaven
Holy is your name
Keep us in your loving comfort
Now and forever the same
Father in heaven, please help us forgive -
Those who do harm and wander astray
And lead us, oh Father, not into temptation
Be with us here / below
Father in heaven, protect us from evil
With power and glory on earth - as above
Forever and ever, oh Father we pray to you
Be with us here / below
Chorus:
Our father who lives in heaven
Holy is your name
Keep us in your loving comfort
Now and forever the same
Father in heaven, your name is holy
Your kingdom come to us / your will be done
Power and glory / forever and ever
Be with us here / below
Be with us here / below
Be with us here / below
