Lyrics:

In monte Oliveti, oravit ad Patrem:
Pater, si fieri potest transeat a me calix iste:
Spiritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infirma, 
fiat voluntas tua.
Vigilate et orate et orate ut non intretis in tentationem.
Spiritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infirma, 
fiat voluntas tua.

English translation:
On Mount Olive he prayed to his Father:
Father, if it may be, let this chalice pass from me.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Your will be done.
Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation.
The spirit is willing, but the the flesh is weak.
Your will be done.
