The Lord's Prayer
Dario Marianelli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 debt
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For Thine is the Kingdom and the Power
And the Glory, forever, Amen
The Lord's Prayer is a deeply spiritual and religious song that speaks to the relationship between humans and the divine. The opening lines of the prayer address God as 'our Father' and acknowledge His presence in Heaven. The use of 'art' instead of 'are' in the phrase 'which art in Heaven' is an archaic form of English that was once commonly used in religious texts. The line 'Hallowed be Thy name' is an expression of reverence and worship for God.
The following lines of the prayer affirm the belief that God's Kingdom will come and His will will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. This is a call for faith and trust in God's plan and His sovereignty over all things. The next line is a request for daily sustenance and forgiveness, both physical and spiritual. This acknowledges the human need for sustenance and the need for divine forgiveness in order to continue to walk in faith.
The final lines of the prayer are a plea for protection from temptation and evil. The phrase 'For Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory, forever, Amen' is a doxology, which is a short hymn of praise to God. This is an affirmation of God's ultimate authority and the submission of humans to His will.
