Sing Praise to Our Creator (O Most Holy Trinity)

Sing praise to our Creator,
O you of Adam's race —
God's children by adoption,
baptized into his grace.

Refrain:

O most holy Trinity,
Undivided Unity;
Holy God, mighty God,
God immortal, be adored.

To Jesus Christ give glory,
God's co-eternal Son;
as members of his Body
we live in him as one. (Refrain)

And praise the Holy Spirit
poured forth upon the earth;
who sanctifies and guides us,
made strong in our rebirth. (Refrain)

The Lord's Prayer (Albert Hay Malotte)

Our Father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done,
in 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.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

Composer: Albert Hay Malotte (1935)

The Lord's Prayer (Rimsky-Korsakov) / Russian Orthodox

Our Father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done,
in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.

Composer: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908)

Pater Noster (The Lord's Prayer / Latin)

Pater noster, qui es in caelis:
sanctificetur nomen tuum;
adveniat regnum tuum;
fiat voluntas tua,
sicut in caelo, et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
Sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem;
sed libera nos a malo

Vater unser im Himmel (The Lord's Prayer / German)

Vater unser im Himmel,
geheiligt werde Dein Name.
Dein Reich komme.
Dein Wille geschehe,
wie im Himmel so auf Erden.
Unser tägliches Brot gib uns heute.
Und vergib uns unsere Schuld,
wie auch wir vergeben unseren Schuldigern.
Und führe uns nicht in Versuchung,
sondern erlöse uns von dem Bösen.
Denn Dein ist das Reich und die Kraft und die Herrlichkeit in Ewigkeit.
Amen.

我們的天父 / 天主經 (The Lord's Prayer / Chinese Catholic)

我們的天父
願祢的名受顯揚
願祢的國來臨
願祢的旨意奉行在人間
如同在天上
求祢今天賞給我們日用的食糧
求祢寬恕我們的罪過
如同我們寬恕別人一樣
不要讓我們陷於誘惑
但救我們免於凶惡
阿們!

Notre Père (Duruflé) (The Lord's Prayer / French)

Notre Père, qui es aux cieux,
Que ton nom soit sanctifié,
Que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite
Sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd’hui notre pain de ce jour
Pardonne-nous nos offenses,
Comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation,
Mais délivre-nous du mal.
Amen.
