The text

Fæder ūre þū þe eart on heofonum,

Sīe þīn nama ġehālgod.

Tōbecume þīn rīċe,

Ġeweorðe þīn willa, on eorðan swā swā on heofonum.

Ūrne dæġhwamlīċan hlāf sele ūs tōdæġ,

And forġief ūs ūre gyltas, swā swā wē forġiefaþ ūrum gyltendum.

And ne ġelǣd þū ūs on costnunge, ac ālīes ūs of yfele.

Sōðlīċe.
