Nolo mortem peccatoris; Haec sunt verba Salvatoris.
(I do not wish the death of a sinner: these are the words of the saviour).
Father, I am thine only Son, sent down from heav'n mankind to save.
Father, all things fulfill'd and done according to thy will, I have.
Father, my will now all is this: Nolo mortem peccatoris.
Father, behold my painful smart, taken for man on every side;
Ev'n from my birth to death most tart, no kind of pain I have denied,
but suffer'd all, and all for this; Nolo peccatoris
