A New Testament Blessing (Jude)

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling
and to present you faultless
in the presence of his glory with great joy,
to the only God, our Savior,

through + Jesus Christ our Lord,
before all time, now, and to all eternity.
Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer

Matthew 6 (ESV)
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.		 Luke 11 (ESV)
Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread,
4 and forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.

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;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen.

but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and forever. Amen.

Here is the Alternative Service Book 1980 text of the Lord’s Prayer with a melody modified from Braunschweig-Wolfenbuetteler Kirchenordnung, 1543. In some sources this melody is attributed to Johannes Bugenhagen. This is the melody used on the album Praetorius: Mass for Christmas Morning. Here it is without the doxology…
