Vater unser im Himmelreich

This calm choral setting is number 41 from Max Reger's collection of 52 choral settings op 67.

It uses a choral taking the lords prayer as its theme. In 9 verses it treats the prayer and meditates about its meaning.

I'll give the first, second and last verse of a translation:

Our Father in the heaven
Our Father in the heaven Who art,
Who tellest all of us in heart
Brothers to be, and on Thee call,
And wilt have prayer from us all,
Grant that the mouth not only pray,
From deepest heart oh help its way.

Hallowed be Thy name, O Lord;
Amongst us pure oh keep Thy word,
That we too may live holily.
And keep in Thy name worthily.
Defend us. Lord, from lying lore;
Thy poor misguided folk restore.

Amen ! that is, let this come true!
Strengthen our faith ever anew,
That we may never be in doubt
Of that we here have prayed about.
In Thy name, trusting in Thy word.
We say a soft Amen, O Lord.
