Black to black and white to white (ribbed lead), coil the ground wire out of the way. Generally plugged-in devices are made for temporary (non-permanent) service. I won't tell if you won't!
BTW, you might want to cut the plug so as to leave a foot or so of wire if possible. (The main concern here is to install your light.) If it is possible to leave some lead on the plug you could use it later as a test lead ==> wire it to whatever device you are checking and plug in.
