What have I done to you, my chosen people? 

O tell me how have I offended you? 

I led you out from slavery to freedom, 

You led your God to die on the cross! 

Though from the rock, I gave you saving water, 

You gave me gall and vinegar to drink. 

What more could I have done for you, my people? 

I planted you to be my sweetest Vine. 

But in my thirst your bitterness I tasted, 

You pierced your Saviour's side with a lance! 

I struck down kings, gave you a royal sceptre, 

You placed upon my head a crown of thorns. 

We praise you Christ, for by your blood you saved us. 

We worship you and bless your holy name. 

Have mercy Lord, and help us in our weakness, 

For you are Strong, Immortal One, the Lord! 

And by your cross and glorious resurrection 

You have redeemed your people from their sins.
