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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
2) Listening/Singing
- Sing along with your teacher or at home, as you watch the words scroll before you
3) Worshiping
Our first hymn is also a prayer, and not only a prayer, but the prayer which Our Lord himself gave us. For this reason, we sing this special hymn standing up, and with our hands out and palms up, open to Our Lord in prayer. As the entire altar and congregation is censed, a sweet scent rises to God along with our prayers.
