Anyway, to that end, here is a Syriac Orthodox hymn, "Sogdinan L'Slibo" (We bow before the cross), with English translation in the video:
The Syriac people (who are spread across many churches in the Middle East, India, Turkey, and now in the West in America, Australia, etc.) use an ancient form of Aramaic, often claimed as "the language of Christ"...and indeed it is closer to that than any other church's liturgical language. Some Syriacs also still speak one of the descendants of Aramaic in the Neo-Aramaic languages, such as Turoyo (spoken in Turkey), Assyrian Neo-Aramaic (spoken in Iraq), and so on.
Here is the Lord's prayer in Syriac (Abun D'Bashmayo), as sung by a Syriac Orthodox Choir from, I believe, Germany (Mor Ephrem Choir, I think):
From the uploader (in case you'd like to learn some Syriac
):
Abun d-bashmayo nithqadash shmokh tithe malkuthokh
nehwe sebyonokh
aykano d-bashmayo oph bar`o hab lan
lahmo d-sunqonan yowmono washbuq
lan hawbayn wahtohayn
aykano doph hnan
shbaqan l-hayobayn
lo ta`lan l-nesyuno
elo paso lan
men bisho metul
d-dylokh hi malkutho
whaylo wteshbuhto
l`olam `olmin Amin
Translation: Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive our debts
As we have forgiven our debtors
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For Thine is the Kingdom Power and the Glory For ever and ever Amen
