Lord's Prayer (song)


The Lord's Prayer had be incorporated by various composers into musical setting for utilization during liturgical service.

It also an inspiration for musicians to produce award-winning compositions, not just as Church music, but also include a video game theme song !







"The Lord's Prayer" is a rock setting of the Lord's Prayer with music by Arnold Strals recorded in 1973 by the Australian nun Sister Janet Mead. 

The recording became an international hit, selling nearly 3 million copies worldwide.  Sister Janet donated all of her royalties to charity.



Charlotte Church was only 12 years old when she recorded her first album Voice of an Angel in 1998.  The album is a collection of arias, sacred songs and traditional pieces, which include “The Lord’s Prayer”.




IndiaJiva are multi-instrumentalists and composers Ron Ragel and Vicki Hansen.  Their interpretation of the music is classified by some as New Age.  ( Almost anything soothing, calming effect, or some sleepy effect is considered New Age )

“The Lord’s Prayer” is performed in Aramaic, the spoken language of Jesus, recorded in IndiaJiva’s 2004 album Sacred Ragas.
Abwoon d'bashmaya
Nethqadash shmakh
Teytey malkuthakh
Neywey tzevyanach aykanna d'bwashmaya aph b'arha
Hawvlan ladhma d'sunqanan yaomana
Washboqlan khaubayn wakhtahayn
Aykana daph khnan shbwoqan l'khayyabayn

Wela tashlan l'nesyuna
Ela patzan min bisha
Metol dilakhie malkutha
Wahayla wateshbukhta L'ahlam
almin
O Birther!
Focus your light within us
Create your reign of unity now
Your one desire then acts with ours, as in all light, so in all forms
Grant what we need each day in bread and insight
Loose the cords of mistakes binding us,
as we release the strands we hold of others’ guilt.

Don’t let us enter forgetfulness
But free us from unripeness
From you is born all ruling will
the power and the life to do
Truly



"Baba Yetu" (Swahili: "Our Father") is the theme song for the 2005 video game Civilization IV. It was composed by Christopher Tin and performed by Ron Ragin and the Stanford Talisman.  For its re-release in Tin's debut 2009’s album Calling All Dawns, it was performed by the Soweto Gospel Choir. The song, when rereleased, became the first piece of video game music to be nominated for and to win a Grammy Award.

The lyrics of "Baba Yetu" (which means "Our Father" in African language Swahili) are a translation of the Lord's Prayer.
Baba yetu, yetu uliye
Mbinguni yetu, yutu Amina
Baba yetu, yetu, uliye
M jina lako e litukuzwe

Utupe leo chakula chetu
Tunachohitaji utusamehe
Makosa yetu, hey
Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe
Waliotukosea, usitutie
Katika majaribu, lakini
Utuokoe, na Yule, milele na milele

Ufalme waka ufike utakalo
Lifanyike duniani kama bminguni, Amin

Our Father, our, who is
In Heaven, our, our, Amen
Our Father, our, who is
Let’s glory Your name

Give us today our food
We need you to forgive us
Our errors, hey
As we do forgive those
Who did us wrong, don’t put us
Into trials, but
Save us, with Him, for ever and ever

Your kingdom dome that is be
Done on earth as in Heaven, Amen
