Not my copy. You sure you have an accurate reproduction?

If yours doesn't reference Jesus at the end, then yours is the defective one. Here, i'll show you the exact quote.

done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independance of the United States of America the Twelfth In witness whereof We have hereunto subscribed our Names,

You might also be interested in looking at Article I. Section 7, where it says:

" If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law."

If it had been intended to comprehend Muslims, it would have excepted Fridays, and if it had been intended to comprehend Jews it would have excepted Saturdays.

It exempts Sundays, and so therefore is a tacit acknowledgment that the President is intended to be a Christian.

That's it? Don't you think if the framers wanted to explicitly and undeniably refer to Jesus they would have done so rather than only refer to the "Lord" in the equivalent of a date stamp and only once?

And you're also the same person saying the plain wording of the Religious Test Clause in Article VI is unclear?
