Old English - 'The Lord's Prayer'
Fæder ure þu þe eart on heofonum,
Si þin nama gehalgod.
to becume þin rice, gewurþe ðin willa, 
on eorðan swa swa on heofonum.
urne gedæghwamlican hlaf syle us todæg,
and forgyf us ure gyltas,
Our father which art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
forgive us our trespasses...
