Our Father, Our Mother: Parallel versions
Ready-to-print copies:
Using multiple voices, alternating sides…
Side 1...
Our Father
Who art in heaven
Hallowed be they name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done, on earth
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the Kingdom, the
Wisdom, the power and the glory
All: Now and forever Amen.
Side 2...
Our Mother
Who are in all the earth
Holy is your truth
May your wisdom come
Your circle be one uniting as it is in heaven and earth
Give us today a nurturing spirit
Heal through us as we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us into Fullness of life
And liberate all that is good
Presence and the Goodness are Yours
All: Now and forever Amen.
