'When he was Finnish,
one of his disreputables said to him,
"Lord, teach us to prey?"'
(Luke 11:1, Authorised Viking Version)
I try not to be sacrilegious...
Norse say it this way:
"Our Father with chart in heaven,
Haloed be Earth's frame.
Viking dumb, come;
Vile, be dung in earth:
Asset is in heaven.
Give us, thirsty, oar daily spread...
And forge with us our depths,
As we forge with oar detours.
And lead us not into tempests
But deliver us from the mediaeval.
For Thine is the United Kingdom,
Though they cower:
We'll not be gory forever.
Amen.
