Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven - praise be to God, lord of the worlds, the most beneficent the most merciful, owner of the day of judgement (Gods dominion over earth and heaven and the end of days and the judgement)
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our tresspasses (as we forgive those who tresspass against us) - thee alone we worship, thee alone we turn to for help(asking for sustenance/aid)
lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil - show us the straight path, the path that thou has favoured, not the path of those whove earnt that anger and gone astray (asking for help to resist the devil and recognise the good route to Him)
for thine is the kingdon, the power and the glory, forever, amen.
I remember when i was at primary school, after morning assembly, we would say the Lords prayer (this version of it anyway). My school didnt advertise itself as Christian and gave no religious instruction, but this was the habit at morning assembly. I remember there were two muslim brothers whose father had said werent allowed to remain for the lords prayer, so every day the the teacher would have to send them out and i felt sorry for them because they looked embarrassed about it. It seemed so unecessary, after all, they didnt have to say it. Apart from the word 'father' perhaps, i dont see why the lords prayer should be objectionable.
