The Lord’s Prayer in Glaswegian

Jamie Stuart wrote “A Glasgow Gospel” – here is his Scots translation of the famous prayer known as the Lord’s Prayer:

Faither o us aw, bidin oan high,

We ken yer name is holy.

Let yer blessins stert, and let yer rules be carried oot, here, right noo, just like in Heaven.

Gie us breid for the day, Lord, an let us aff the hook for aw oor fauts – and we’ll dae the same for them that gie us a hard time.

Dear God, keep us awa from temptation, an save us from the evil one.

For sure, the Kingdom is aw yours Lord, alang wi the power, and the hale glory, aye – even tae the feenish o time.

Amen.
