O call of good in all things, reigning for ever and ever:
Hallowed be your name.
The will of the future, the world to come, the liberty all seek for rights and responsibilities together in their fullness:
Thy kingdom come.
Our opposition to poverty, our siding with the suffering, the need for full stomachs and a meaningful life of creativity:
Give ourselves this day our daily bread.
We were born weak and remain easily able to do what is wrong, easily able to produce impatience and wrongful temper:
Let us avoid trial, temptation and evil.
Let us instead build our ideals and rise to the highest we know, the highest we can, and shine a torch of human potential and worth:
For the Kingdom, power and glory are there for all.
Father, thy name be hallowed,
Thy kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
For we too forgive all who have done us wrong.
And do not bring us to the test. Amen.
(New English Bible, Luke, Ch. 11, vv. 2-4)

O Birth giver! Father-Mother of the Cosmos
Direct the light to us
And clear the space inside for the Holy Name to live -
So that it may reign and do its work.
We desire the heavenly light and love as our earthly reality
Grant our life and soul and our bodily food for fulfilment.
Restore the unburdened state by removing all binds and debts:
As we do.
Free us from delusions and inappropriate actions that hold us back
There is, we know, the fertile abundance, the ability and the energy from time to time of Holy earthly renewal.
May these words truly be the basis of actions:
This is our oath.

Agon Taze nye, eze en Neve,
Benegas bo tha Hanow.
Tha Gwlaskath gwrenz doaz;
Tha Voth bo gwreze,
En Noer pecarra en Neve.

Pecarra tel era nye gava angye
Neb eze peha war agon bidn.
Ha na raze gon lewa en antall,

Rag an Gwlaskath Che a beaw,

Rag nevra venitha.
Andelna ra bo.
Amen.

Un diwrnod roedd Iesu'n gweddïo mewn lle arbennig. Pan oedd wedi gorffen, dyma un o'i ddisgyblion yn gofyn iddo, 'Arglwydd, dysgodd Ioan ei ddisgyblion i weddïo, felly dysga di ni.' |
| 2 | Dywedodd wrthyn nhw, 'Wrth weddïo dwedwch fel hyn: |
| 'Dad, | |
|
dyn ni eisiau i dy enw di gael ei anrhydeddu. |
|
|
Dyn ni eisiau i ti ddod i deyrnasu. |
|
| 3 |
Rho i ni ddigon o fwyd i'n cadw ni'n fyw bob dydd. |
| 4 | Maddau ein pechodau i ni – oherwydd dyn ni'n maddau i'r rhai sy'n pechu yn ein herbyn ni. Cadw ni rhag syrthio pan fyddwn ni'n cael ein profi. |
Luke, 11:1-4, In Welsh
Fæder ure þu þe eart on heofonum;

and ne gelæd þu us on costnunge
ac alys us of yfele soþlice
