Giue vs this day our daylie sustenance
Forgiue our dettis for Christis paine and smart,
As we forgiue our detteris with our hart
And leid vs not into temptatioun,
Bot for Christ Iesus bitter passioun
Delyuer vs from euillis Spirituall
And corporall, now and perpetuall.
Saif vs gude Lord for thy promeis deuyne,
For Kingdome, power, gloir and all is thyne.

All gloir to him, quhilk alone worthie is,
Asking for Christ to bring vs to his blis.

Throw him thow will them saif from cair,
To quhome be gloir Eternallie.
