The Lords Prayer
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 the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever.
Amen

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be at your back
May the sun shine, warm upon your face
And may the rain fall soft upon your fields
Until we meet again

Until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of His hand
