No. Probably because we see that Jesus gave it as a pattern for prayer, rather than a form of words to be repeated parrot-fashion. I remember, having been brought up to "go to church", i.e. the Anglican parish church, that the Lord's Prayer was said twice during every service, once with the words, "For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever," and once without.

What people commonly call "The Lord's Prayer" is, as David Lamb said, a model prayer or a pattern prayer. And, no we do not recite this model prayer at each worship service.
The actual Lord's prayer is John chapter 17. And, no we do not recite all 26 verses at each worship service. The men who lead prayer construct their own.
