"Our Father who art in Heaven, such glory is in Thee! Thou madest firmament and earth, on the third day the sea. The stars and moon Thou madest, and the great sun to warm. In the womb of Mary Mother, Thou tookest human form. Thou didst appear in Bethlehem as was Thy will and choice. And in Thy praise and glory shepherds lifted up their voice. And thither to adore Thee from Arabia afar Came forth the three kings, Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. And gold and myrrh and frankincense they proffered eagerly. Thou didst spare the prophet Jonah when he fell into the sea. And Thou didst rescue Daniel from the lions in the cave. And, moreover, in Rome city Saint Sebastian didst Thou save. From the sinful lying witness Saint Susanna didst Thou ward. And years two and thirty didst Thou walk the Earth, our Lord, Showing, the which all men take heed, Thy miracles divine. Of the stone, bread Thou madest, and of the water, wine. Thou didst raise up Saint Lazarus according to Thy will. Thou didst let the Hebrews take Thee. On Calvary the hill, In the place Golgotha by name, Thee, Lord, they crucified. And the two thieves were with Thee, whom they hanged on either side, One is in heaven, the other he came not thereunto. A miracle most mighty on the cross there didst Thou do. Blind was Longinus never had seen from his birth-year. The side of our Lord Jesus he pierced it with the spear. Forth the blood issued swiftly, and ran down the shaft apace. It stained his hands. He raised them and put them to his face. Forthwith his eyes were opened and in every way might see. He is ransomed from destruction for he straight believed on Thee. From the sepulchre Thou rosest, and into Hell didst go, According to Thy purpose, and its gates didst overthrow, To bring forth the Holy Fathers. And King of Kings Thou art, And of all the world the Father, and Thee with all my heart Do I worship and acknowledge, and further I implore That Saint Peter speed my prayer for the Cid Campeador, That God keep his head from evil; and when this day we twain Depart, then grant it to us that we meet in life again." And now the prayer is over and the mass in its due course. From church they came, and already were about to get to horse. And the Cid clasped Xiména, but she, his hand she kissed. Sore wept the Dame, in no way the deed to do she wist. He turned unto his daughters and he looked upon the two: "To the Spiritual Father, have I commended you. We must depart. God knoweth when we shall meet again." Weeping most sore--for never hast thou beheld such pain As the nail from the flesh parteth, from each other did they part. And Cid with all his vassals disposed himself to start, And as he waited for them anew he turned his head, Minaya AIvar Fañez then in good season said: "Cid! Where is now thy courage? Upon a happy day Wast thou born. Let us bethink us of the road and haste away. A truce to this. Rejoicing out of these griefs shall grow. The God who gave us spirits shall give us aid also."
