The Lord's Prayer
(also known as the "Our Father" or the "Paternoster")
in American Sign Language
Probably the best recent printed ASL presentation of this prayer is that in Costello, Elaine, Religious signing (Toronto/New York: Bantam Books, 1986), pages 192-196 (DEAF 420 C67r 1986). This has clear line drawings.
Gadling, Donna, and Pokorny, Daniel. You've got a song: selected popular songs with sign language interpretation (Silver Spring, Md.: National Association of the Deaf, 1979), p. 29-31. This version is set to the popular 1935 musical score, and has line drawings. (DEAF 784.5 G37 1979)
Long, J. Schuyler. The sign language: a manual of signs, second edition (Omaha, Neb.: Dorothy Long Thompson, 1918; also same edition reprinted by Gallaudet College, Washington, D.C., in 1952 and 1963) shows, through a sequence of small marked photographs, how the prayer was signed in the early 20th Century. (DEAF 420 L66s)
