122. Q.

What is the first petition?
A.
Hallowed be your name.
That is:
Grant us first of all
that we may rightly know you, 1
and sanctify, glorify, and praise you
in all your works,
in which shine forth
your almighty power,
wisdom, goodness, righteousness,
mercy, and truth. 2
Grant us also
that we may so direct our whole life –
our thoughts, words, and actions –
that your name is not blasphemed because of us
but always honoured and praised. 3
