The Lords' Prayer in Old English just sounds beautiful to me

much lovelier than in Middle English or modern English. no I am not religious :-)


Faeder ure pu pe eart on heofunum,
Si pin nama gehalgod.
To becume pin rice.
Gewurpe din willa on eordan swa swa on heofonum.
Urne gedaeghwamlican half syle us todaeg.
And forgyf us ure gyltas, swa swa we forgyfad urum gyltendum. Ane ne gelaed pu us on costnunge,
Ac alys us of yfele.
Soplice.
