Jesus, you testified
against the world,
that its works were
evil, and that it
did not judge with
justice,
and they hated you--
even your own brothers did.
The orphan and the needy
have
no one to defend their rights;
they flee to you for
refuge
from their enemies.
All we have sinned and
fallen
short of the glory of
God;
only by the gift of your
grace
do we find
redemption.
