The Millennium Prayer
The Millennium Prayer: Embracing Hope and Unity
Lyrics
Our Father who art in Heaven
Addressing God as our Father who is in Heaven.
Hallowed be thy name
Recognizing and honoring God's name as sacred.
Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as in heaven
Praying for God's kingdom to come and His will to be fulfilled on Earth, aligning with Heaven's will.
Give us to thee our daily bread
Asking for our daily sustenance or basic needs from God.
And forgive our sins
Requesting forgiveness for our sins.
As we forgive each one of those who sin against us
Committing to forgive others who have wronged us.
And lead us not to the time of trial
Asking to be guided away from times of testing or temptation.
But deliver us from evil
Seeking deliverance from evil forces.
For thine is the kingdom the power and the glory
Acknowledging that the kingdom, power, and glory belong to God.
Lead us not to the time of trial
Reiteration of the request to be kept away from times of trial.
Keep us from evil
Asking to be protected from evil.
For thine is the kingdom the power and the glory
Reaffirmation that the kingdom, power, and glory belong to God.
Let all the people sing Amen
Inviting everyone to praise and say "Amen."
In every tribe and tongue
Desiring that people of all languages and cultures join in.
Let every hearts desire be joined
Wishing for collective desires to unite in seeing God's kingdom established.
To see the kingdom come
Hoping for the realization of God's kingdom.
Let every hope and every dream
Yearning for all hopes and dreams to be renewed and rooted in love.
Be born in love again
Asking for a world where love is reborn in every aspect.
Let all the world sing with one voice
Encouraging global unity in praising God with one voice.
Let the people say amen
Encouraging people to affirm and support the prayer with "Amen."
Amen Amen Amen
Repeated invocation of "Amen" for emphasis.
Amen Amen Amen
Continued emphasis on concluding the prayer with "Amen."
