Yeavering: Lord's Prayer in Old English
Why not have a go at reading Old English? Here we have a transcript of the Lord's prayer in Old English, just like
the one Paulinus was saying to his audience in Yeavering.

Fæder ure,
þu þe eart on heofonum,
si þin nama gehalgod.
Tobecume þin rice.
Gewurþe ðin willa on eorðan swa swa on heofonum.
Urne gedæghwamlican hlaf syle us to dæg.
And forgyf us ure gyltas, swa swa we forgyfað urum gyltendum.
And ne gelæd þu us on costnunge,
ac alys us of yfele. Soþlice.

We have also prepared an audio track of Lord's Prayer being recited in Old English as listening to it will help you
understand how to pronounce the letters, which have fallen out of use.
