Fater unser guato
Bist druthin thu gimnato
In himilon io hoher
Uduih si namo thiner.
Biqueme uns thinaz richi
Thaz haha himmilrichi.
Thara wir zua is gingen
Joh emmizigen thingen
Si inuillo thin hiar nidare
So erist ufan himmile
In erdu hilff uns hiare
So du engilon duist nuthare
Thia da galichun zuthi
Gib huitu uns mit ginuthi.
Jo sollon ouht heist mera.
Thunes selles lera.
Sculd bilaz uns allen
So unit ouch duan wollen.
Sunta thia wir thencken
So em nizigen wirken.
Ni firlaze unich thih wara
In thes widaruu erten fara.
Thas wir nimissigangen
Tharana ni bifallen.
Losi unsi io thanani
Thas wir sin thine thegna
Joh mitgina don thinen
Then wennon bi miden.
