¶Lyrics / Text

1. I will watch beside my Jesus; I will gladly submit myself to take up the Cross and to drink from the cup. He is ready to drink the cup wherein all the sins of the world are poured by the hands of the sinners. 2. Whither shall I flee from thy spirit, whither shall I leave thee, too? Thou knowest my thoughts from afar, before a word is on my tongue. Thou knowest me completely, O Lord my God. 3. I have denied Thee many times, but my soul longest after Thee like a hart for water-brooks. Teach me true allegiance, have mercy, my God, abide with me, O Christ. 4. Give me back my Jesus, take back the money, the wages of murder. I have sinned, my sins are coins in Judas’ purse. 5. I strew Thy way, I sang the praises, resounding Hosannas to Thee; but then I cried, Crucify him!” in all my breath, thirsty for Thy death to wash away my sins. 6. In Thy most bitter Passion, O Lord, is They victory. To mock Thy reign, O King, we made a crown of thorns; Thy scarlet kingly robe is a garment of mercy, covering our naked shame, a scepter reed is a shepherd staff to lead us to thy true light. 7. The guiltless does with the guilty. My sins are crucified with Thee, like thieves. ‘Twas I, my Lord, my King who crucified Thee. 8. It is fulfilled, the end has come. Am I from death forever free? Thou bowest Thy head in silent “yes.”
