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.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen
I'm not religous (sp?) but I love the Lords Prayer, we said it every morning at school and I find it comforting!

mjandrews,
In the prayer book, you will find the Lord's Prayer several times, sometimes with the doxology you mention, sometimes not. See Morning Prayer, for example.
I have noticed this before, and do not know why this is done. I go to mass at a cathedral every Sunday, and have never thought to ask! Now I am curious!
here's what the King james version of the bible says

If you Google the following:
"lord's prayer" doxology added
you get lots of results!
