"Incorrect"? Maybe not. The early christians made it a practice to "borrow" prayers from other religions. The first Christian liturgies were actually borrowed from the roman pagans. They crossed out "Jupiter " and wrote in "Jesus Christ". Same thing prolly happened here. Today's Catholic church still uses old Jupiter prayers with changed names.

It was Illegal in Rome until 313 AD but the Romans tried to put a stranglehold on it thereafter...
