Lyrics:

My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death.
Tarry ye here and watch with me.
Now shall ye see the multitude come upon me,
ye shall flee and I go to be sacrificed for you.
Behold, the hour is at hand,
and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Ye shall flee, and I go to be sacrificed for you.

Notes: SATB with Soprano and Bass divisi.
