Full Lyrics

Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified Jesus. And they that passed by reviled Him, wagging their heads. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And one of the malefactors which were hang'd said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom, And Jesus said unto him, This day shalt thou be with Me In Paradise. When Jesus therefore saw His mother and the disciple standing by, whom He loved, He said unto His mother, Woman, behold thy Son, Then said He to the disciple, Behold thy mother. There was darkness over all the land. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, lama Sabacthani. Which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst, Now there was a vessel full of vinegar and they fill'd a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop. and they put it to His mouth. When Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, Tetelestai. It is finished. Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit and He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost.
