The Lord's Prayer,also known by its incipit Our Father,is a central Christian prayer that Jesus taught as the way to pray. Two versions of this prayer are recorded in the gospels:a longer form within the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew,and a shorter form in the Gospel of Luke when "one of his disciples said to him,'Lord,teach us to pray,as John taught his disciples'". Regarding the presence of the two versions,some have suggested that both were original,the Matthean version spoken by Jesus early in his ministry in Galilee,and the Lucan version one year later,"very likely in Judea".

The tune was added in 1862 by William Batchelder Bradbury (1816–1868). Along with his tune,Bradbury added his own chorus "Yes,Jesus loves me,Yes,Jesus Loves me..."
