view the Lord of life arraigned;
oh, the wormwood and the gall!
Oh, the pangs his soul sustained!

learn from him to bear the cross.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen
