Lord, beholding
Thy dread Passion
Borne for us for our salvation
We adore Thee on the tree (We adore Thee on the tree)
We adore Thee
We adore Thee on the tree
Sin and sorrow here find healing
Sin and sorrow here find healing
Lord, Lord
Thy wonderous love revealing
(Grant us peace, O) Grant us peace and life with Thee
Grant us peace and life with Thee, life with Thee

Now the feast of unleaven'd bread drew nigh
Which is called the Passover
And the chief priests and the scribes consulted
Seeking how they might kill Him
For they feared the people
Then Satan entered into Judas
Whose surname Iscariot
Being of the number of the twelve
And he went and commun'd with the chief priests and with the captains
How he might betray Him unto them
And they were glad and covenanted to give him money
And he promised, and sought opportunity
And betray Him unto them in the absence of the multitude
To Save Our Souls
From bitter shame and mourning
Thou dearest lord base treachery and scorning
From lure of gain or gold
Save us we pray to thee
Least we betray thee

And Jesus Came Out
And went as he was warned to the mount of Olives
And his disciples also followed him
And when he was at the place he said onto them
“Pray thee that thee enter not into temptation”

Lead Us Not Into Temptation
But deliver us from evil

And While He Yet Spake
Behold a multitude, And he that was called Judas
One of the 12 went before them
And drew near onto Jesus to kiss him
But Jesus said onto him
“Judas, betrayed thou the son of man with a kiss”

Forgive Us Lord Our Thespasses
As we forgive them that trespass against us
Then Jesus Said Onto The Chief Priests
And the captains of the temple
And the elders which were a come to him
“Be ye come out, as against a robber
With swords and with staves to take me
When I was daily with you in the temple
Yee stretched forth no hands against me
But this is your hour
And the power of darkness”
And took him they did
And led him
And brought him into the high priests house
And Peter followed upon forth

[Instrumental Break]

And The Men That Held Jesus
Mocked him and smote him
And when they had blindfolded him
They struck him on the face
And asked him in saying

Prophesy, who is he?
Who is he that smote Thee? (Prophesy, who is he?) (Prophesy, who is he?)
Prophesy, who is he? Who is he? (That smote Thee?)
Prophesy, who is he? (That smote Thee?)
Who is he that smote Thee? (That smote Thee, that smote Thee?)
And Many Other Things Spake They against him reviling him
And as soon as it was day the errors of the people assembled
For the chief priests and scribes together
And led him away into their council, saying

Art Thou the Christ? x4
Tell us, art Thou the Christ? x2
Art Thou the Christ? x3
Tell us, art Thou the Christ? X3

But He Said Unto Them
“If I tell you, he will not believe
And if I ask you, he will not answer me
Nor will he let me go
But from henceforth, shall the son of man be seated
And the right hand of the power of God”
Then said them all:

Art Thou The Son Of God? X7

And He Said Unto Them
“Thee say that I am”
Then said the elders

What, what need we any further witness?
What need we any further witness?
What need we any further witness, further witness? For we ourselves (For we ourselves)
Have heard for we ourselves (Have heard for we our) Selves have heard of His own mouth
What, what need we any further witness?
For we, we ourselves have heard (For we ourselves have heard of) His own mouth, have heard of His own mouth

And The Whole Company of them arose
And lead him onto Pilate
And they began to accuse him, saying

We have found this man (Perverting all our nation)
Perverting all our nation (And forbidding)
And forbidding to give tribute unto Caesar
And saying He Himself is Christ a King (He Himself is Christ a King) Saying He Himself is Christ a King

And Pilate Asked Him and said
“Aren’t thou the king of the jews?”
And he answered him
“Thou say yes”

Christ our Saviour, God, and King
We confess Thee
Thought the world no homage bring We would bless Thee
Help us now Thy praise to sing And adore Thee
Kneeling low before Thee

And Pilate Said to the chief priests and the multitude
“I find no fault in this man”
But they were the more urgent, and answered

He stirreth up the nation x2
He stirreth the nation throughout, teaching throughout Judea
Teaching throughout all Judea, throughout all Judea
Beginning from Galilee, from Galilee beginning
Beginning from Galilee unto this place

The Lamb Is Dumb before His shearer
In patient love His lips are sealed x2
In patient love His lips are sealed, in love
In patient love His lips are sealed
O teach us Lord, all wrath for bearing
Thy calm endurance
Thy calm endurance meekly sharing
For malice nought but love to yield x2

And Pilate, when he had call'd together the Chief Priests
And the rulers and the people, spake to them saying:
Ye have brought this Man unto me
As one that perverteth the people: And behold I have examin'd Him before you And have found no fault in this Man
Touching those things whereof ye accuse him
No, nor yet Herod: for he sent Him back unto us
And behold nothing worthy of death hath been done by Him
I will therefore chastise Him, and release Him
(For he must of necessity release one unto them at the Feast)
And they cried out all at once, and said:
