I think the further back you go in Indo-European grammar, the more common the thing you are describing becomes. For me it's less of a question of if English did this, and more like how far back you need to go.
Today, even ignoring the dated conjugation, "who art in heaven" or "who are in heaven", does not make sense. We would switch it into the third person.
