My people what have 1 done to you? 

O how have I offended you? 

I led you out of Egypt, 

But you led your Saviour to the cross. 

My people what have I done to you? 

O how have I offended you? 

I planted you as my fairest vine, 

But you gave me only your bitterness to drink. 

My people what have I done to you? 

O how have I offended you? 

I opened the sea before you, 

You opened my side, my heart with a spear.
