Part 1. Come, ye daughters -- When Jesus had finished -- O blessed Jesu -- Then assembled the chief priests -- Not upon the feast -- Now when Jesus was in Bethany -- To what purpose is this waste? -- When Jesus percieved it -- O blessed Saviour -- Grief and pain -- Then went one among the twelve -- Bleed and break, thou loving heart -- Now on the first day -- Where wilt thou that we prepare -- He said: Go ye into the city -- The sorrows thou art bearing -- He answered them, and said -- Although both heart and eyes o'erflow -- Lord, to thee my heart -- And when they had sung a hymn of praise -- From ill do thou defend me -- Then answered Peter -- Near thee would I be staying -- Then cometh Jesus with them -- Behold, how throbs the heavy-laden breast -- I would beside my Lord be watching -- And he went a little farther -- The Saviour, low before His Father bending -- Gladly would I be enduring -- And He came to his disciples -- The will of God be alway done -- And He came again -- Behold, my Saviour now is taken -- And behold, one of them -- O man, bewail thy grievous sin!Part 2. Ah! Now is my Saviour gone -- And they that laid hold on Jesus -- The crafty world -- Yea, tho' many false witnesses -- He holds His peace -- Be still, be still! -- And the High Priest -- $tHe is of death deserving -- And then did they spit in His face -- Now tell us, Thou Christ -- O Lord, who dares to smite Thee -- Peter was sitting without in the court -- Have mercy, Lord, on me -- Once I loved from Thee to wander -- Now when the morning came -- Bring Him back, is all my prayer -- And they took counse together -- Whate'er may vex or grieve thee -- Now at the feast -- O wondrous love -- The governor answered -- To all men Jesus good hat' done -- In love my Saviour now is dying -- But they cried out the more -- O gracious God, behold -- If my tears be unavailing -- And then did the soldiers of the governor -- O Thou, with hate surrounded -- And after they had mocked Him -- In truth, to bear the Cross -- Come, healing Cross -- And when they were come to a place -- The robbers also, which were crucified -- Ah, Golgotha! -- Look ye, Jesus waiting stands -- Now from the sixth hour -- When life begins to fail me -- And then, behold, the veil of the temple -- At evening, hour of calm and rest -- Make thee clean, my heart, from sin -- And Joseph took the body -- And the Lord to rest is laid -- Here yet awhile
