Pater Noster in PIE?

Hello, all:

I was wondering if anybody, as strictly an intellectual exercise, has ever rendered the Pater Noster in PIE.  I am aware that PIE predates the advent of Christianity by at least several thousand years, but think it would be interesting to see if it could be done.  Has enough PIE vocabulary been reconstructed for this to be a feasible exercise?  I know about Schleicher's fable, "The Sheep and the Horses", and I could swear that I've seen Aesop's "The Wolf and the Lamb" rendered in PIE somewhere on the web -- I just can't remember where.

Thanks a lot:
