Iesus Christus

Tristis ad mortem

Sanguis cadit

A capite Tuo

He went down to pray,

“Let this pass from Me.”

The cup of God's wrath

Is tilted to pour

They all said they won't deny Him

They all said they'd give their lives

But then He prayed, and He came back to them

His best friends lay fast asleep

It was clear

That He must be

The spotless, chosen Lamb

To die for this wretched race

“Father, Your will be done

If I must drink this cup.”

Iesus Christus,

Tristis ad mortem

Sanguis cadit

A capite Tuo

He stood alone

Praying for us

Intercessor, He loved us to death

After He woke them

He asked them that they'd stay up with Him

“Don't enter temptation. Watch and pray that you may stand

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak and failing.”

Then He went

A second time to ask the Father

That He may be spared

But still knew that the cup must be drunk

The cup of God's wrath is tilted to pour

Will it be Him or the whole of this wretched race?

Their sin so great

To give life freely, there must be payment

Love so vast

His church to buy is chosen to last

“Glorify your Son that He

May glorify You with those You've saved

And this is the eternal life

To know You, the true God, and Me, whom You sent

Sanctify them and protect them from the Evil One

You have sent Me, so I send them out into the world

And for their sake, I give Myself that they may be changed

To bear Your image and Your love, that We may live within them

To know Your name, to know Your love, just as You know Me.”

Then He rose and knew He'd be the one

To drink the cup of God's wrath

To die like human scum

He will suffer

“See the hour is at hand

The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners

Rise, let us be going

See, my betrayer is at hand.”
