Forgive us.. our trespasses.
Our Father who art in heaven, holy, holy, holy be thy name.
Our Father who art in heaven, holy be thy name.
3. Do not lead us into temptation, do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from evil, deliver us from evil.
And forgive us our trespasses, and forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us, forgive us our trespasses.
Our Father who art in heaven, holy, holy, holy be thy name.
Our Father who art in heaven, holy be thy name.
Thy kingdom come on earth, thy will be done on earth.
Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.
4. Do not lead us into temptation, do not lead us into temptation
But deliver us from all evil, deliver us from all evil.
Amen, Amen, Amen.
Amern, amen. Amen.
The hymn "Our Father, Who Art in Heaven" is based on the Lord's Prayer, which is a central Christian prayer taught by Jesus to his disciples. The hymn’s lyrics reflect the key themes of the prayer: reverence for God, the desire for His kingdom to come, daily provision, forgiveness, and deliverance from evil.
The Lord’s Prayer itself comes directly from the Bible, specifically in the Gospels of Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4. However, the hymn form evolved later as part of Christian worship and liturgical practices. While the exact origins of the hymn aren't tied to a specific moment, the words of the prayer have been incorporated into many hymns over the centuries, often sung in churches during services or used as a prayer.
One of the earliest and most well-known hymns based on the Lord's Prayer was written in 1861 by Albert Hay Malotte, a composer and musician. His version of the Lord's Prayer became incredibly popular, especially in Christian worship, and is often performed in choral and solo settings, including by famous singers like Mario Lanza and Andrea Bocelli. Malotte's version captures the traditional wording of the prayer, setting it to a beautiful, meditative melody.
The hymn expresses deep reverence, humility, and dependence on God, acknowledging His holiness, asking for His will to be done, and seeking His help in our daily lives. Its simple, profound message has made it a beloved piece of Christian music used in a variety of contexts—whether in church services, weddings, funerals, or personal prayer.
The hymn connects Christians to the heart of Jesus' teachings, reminding believers of their relationship with God as Father and of their role in the broader spiritual community. It’s a prayer of surrender, trust, and hope.
