The distinction between "hallow" and "sacred" is a distinction that arises only due to the traditional of English translations. Sacere is the Latin. Lord's prayer is written in Koine Greek and uses ἁγιάζω (hagiadzo), the verbal form of ἅγιος (hagios). Hagios is the by far the most common word for "holy".
While modern translations are extremely good, publishers are apparently hesitant to modify verses prone to memorization or used in liturgies (such as the Lord's prayer),
