No matter how appropriate it would seem in these modern times that we should pray to be delivered from yule, I rather think it's "deliver us from evil"
Here's an older version (which ends "alys us of yfele", not geola) Fæder ūre, þū þe eart on heofonum; Sīe þīn nama gehālgod, tō becume þīn rīce, gewurþe þīn willa, on eorðan swā swā on heofonum. Urne gedæghwamlican hlāf sele ūs tōdæg, and forgif ūs ūre gyltas, swā swā wē forgifaþ ūrum gyltendum, and ne gelǣd þū ūs on costnunge, ac ālȳs ūs of yfele, sōþlīce On 20 December 2010 15:27, Dean M.
