West Saxon Gospels (Wessex)

The Wessex Gospels (also known as the West-Saxon Gospels) refer to a translation of the four gospels of the Christian Bible into a West Saxon dialect of Old English. Produced from approximately AD 990 to 1175^[1] in present-day England, this version is the first translation of all four gospels into stand-alone Old English text. Seven manuscript copies survive. Its transcribing was supervised by the monk Aelfric of Eynsham.^[2] (Wikipedia.org)

The text of Matthew 6:9–13, the Lord’s Prayer, is as follows:

Brengle When the Holy Ghost is Come is from the Salvation Army tradition, and Brengle was part of the Deeper Life Movement.
