I wish people would say/sing “Our Father who art in Heaven...”, rather than “...which art in Heaven”.

You mean you think there isn't any witch art in heaven?

In the "original" hymn God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, there is the following verse:

In Bethlehem, in Jewry,
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy...

I knew a choir director once who would direct the verse right up to the phrase "the which His Mother Mary," then stop the choir; they would look at each other and shake their heads, saying, "the witch his mother?"

I don’t believe I’ve ever heard or seen the original wording of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and always thought the one we have sung for so many years was the original. Thanks for cluing me in.

Waterhill - I like your version much better when it is an individual praying. The Lord’s Prayer is among my very favorite songs and when I do say it in prayer, I also include my daughter’s name as she is also in Heaven now.
