Vår Far i himmelen! La navnet ditt helliges. La riket ditt komme. La viljen din skje på jorden slik som i himmelen. Gi oss i dag vårt daglige brød,
og tilgi oss vår skyld, slik også vi tilgir våre skyldnere. Og la oss ikke komme i fristelse, men frels oss fra det onde. For riket er ditt og makten og æren i evighet. Amen.
Velsign oss, Gud Fader! Velsign oss, Guds Sønn! Velsign oss, Gud, du Hellige Åndog la oss være til velsignelse.Amen!
