  O all ye who travel upon the highway, hearken to me, and behold me: was e'er sorrow
  like unto my sorrow? For the Lord Almighty hath dealt bitterly with me. Call me now
  no more Naomi, from to-day call me Mara.
  
  
• First Word. Baritone and Tenor Soli, with Chorus (4:52) Video(300k) / MP3 Sound(64k)
  Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And the people clamor'd: He is death-
  guilty: Take him, let us crucify him! Be his blood on us, and on our children!
  Then they did crucify Jesus, and the two thieves, one at His right hand, the other at His left hand.
  
  
• Second Word. Duet for Tenor and Baritone, with Chorus (5:03) Video(300k) / MP3 Sound(64k)
  Verily, thou shalt be in Paradixe to-day with me. Amen, so I tell thee.
  Hear me O Lord, and remember me, when Thou comest into Thy kingdom.

  See, O woman! here behold thy Son beloved.
  See you mother, bow'd in anguish, Who beside the cross doth languish,
  Where on high her son is borne; Is there mortal, who not feeleth, To behold her where she kneeleth,
  So woeful, and all forlorn?
  
  
• Fourth Word. Baritone Solo (5:30) Video(300k) / MP3 Sound(64k)
  God, my Father, why hast Thou forsaken me?
  All those who were my friends, all have now forsaken me, and they that hate me do now prevail
  against me; and he whom I have cherished, he hath betray'd me. Even the vine that I have chosen
  and that I have planted: wherefore art thou now so strangely turned into bitterness, that I by thee
  am crucified?
  
  
• Fifth Word. Chorus, and Soli for Tenor and Baritone (5:29). Video(300k) / MP3 Sound(64k)
  I am athirst!
  And the Jews then passing by him, all did rail upon him, and wagging their heads at him,
  they said unto him: Ah! Thou wouldst fain destroy the temple; if thou be Jesus, Son of the Father,
  now from the cross descend thou, that we behold it, and believe on thee when we behold it. If
  thou art king over Israel, save theyself, then!
  
  
• Sixth Word. Tenor Solo, and Chorus (4:16) Video(300k) / MP3 Sound(64k)
  Father, into Thy hands I commend my soul.
  For Thou art my God and my Father; Thou art my Saviour. Into Thy hands I commend my soul.

  And with a loud voice Jesus cried, exclaiming: It is finished! And He did bow His head, and
  rendered up His spirit.
  Christ, we do all adore Thee, and we do praise Thee for ever; for on the holy cross hast thou
  the world from sin redeemed.
