I've learnt to recite this prayer a bit differently. It appears to=20
be a mix of the two versions above:

     Our Father in Heaven
     Holy be thy name
     Thy Kingdom come
     Thy will be done
     On Earth as it is in Heaven
     Give us today our daily bread
     And forgive us our sins
     As we forgive those who sin against us
     Do not bring us to the test
     But deliver us from evil
     Amen

What really throws me back when I hear another version is the part=20
where I'd say 'Do not bring us to the test', where others say=20
something COMPLETELY different.
