The Lord’s Prayer (Standing, in unison) Nez Perce
O Great Spirit,
YOU are our Shepherd Chief in the most high place
whose home is everywhere, even beyond the stars and moon.
Whatever YOU want done, let it be done also everywhere.
Give us your gift of bread day by day.
Forgive our wrongs as we forgive those who wrong us.
Take us away from wrongdoings
free us from all evil for everything belongs to you.
Let your power and glory shine forever. Amen.
-- New Perce version of Lord's Prayer, found in A Sampler: Native American Alaska Native and Native Hawai'ian Liturgies, Prepared for the 76th General Convention of the Episcopal Church, July 2009, Anaheim, CA
