Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. When my children were learning this part of the prayer, I simply told them that God’s name was special and that it must be treated with respect. But how would I hallow God’s name? (What an adventure! How fun to learn something new!) I knew that hallowed had something in common with the words holy, sacred, and sanctified. I’ve spent many hours the past two weeks studying this word. It has earned "never delete" status on my DVR.What does the word “hallowed” mean? Webster says that it means “sacred, reverenced” or “consecrated to a sacred use.” When I was growing up, I somewhere learned the definition “set apart.” It may still be broadcast from time to time (the episode also had live performances by Natasha Bedingfield and the Gipsy Kings, which is a pretty weird combination). I don't know if there is a high-quality audio recording available, but it no doubt can be found on YouTube. Both performances are electrifying, and make one wonder why the boys don't do a "live in studio" album, which I'd buy immediately. For those who don't know it, in 2006 the band performed "Hallowed Be Thy Name" and "Brighter Than A Thousand Suns" start-to-finish together in studio (no crowd) for television broadcast. I also love the Live at Abbey Road performance. Steve's bass on this mix sounds awesome, too. Give Clive Burr credit for keeping the band on track better than Nicko typically does on this song. Later live versions are sped up significantly, some to a ridiculous pace. That version was recorded before the studio version was even released, and it is played at the proper tempo. Among the official releases (I'm not conversant in all the bootlegs and YouTube versions), the correct answer is Beast Over Hammersmith.
