This Shaker hymn is a slow and reverent version of the Lord's Prayer,
“The Saviour's Universal Prayer” was originally written for Christmas; 1845, and was usually followed by “And again, O Heavenly Father.” It became popular with many Shaker societies, especially at mountain meetings. (Barry Phillips)
