Icelandic and Faroese are related and both are related to Orkney and Shetland Norn (now sadly a dead language) and to Old Norse as once spoken in parts of England, Ireland and Scotland.
The Lord's Prayer survives in Orkney Norn:
Orkney's Lord's Prayer
The only known text in Orkney Norn is The Lord's Prayer recorded in the late 1690's by James Wallace. First published in his "An Account of the Islands of Orkney. London: Jacob Tonson, 1700.":
