Most of us raised Christian have memorized one version or another of the Lord’s Prayer, or the Pater Noster. A version appears in two Gospels, Matthew and Luke.
The most popular version goes:
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.
