Good Friday



Christ Crucified Between the Two Thieves  William Blake, 1800-03




Opening chorus, St. John Passion, Johann Sebastian Bach
Herr, unser Herrscher, dessen Ruhm
In allen Landen herrlich ist!
Zeig uns durch deine Passion,
Dass du, der wahre Gottessohn,
Zu aller Zeit,
Auch in der größten Niedrigkeit,
Verherrlicht worden bist!

Lord, our master, whose glory
Is magnificent everywhere!
Show us by your passion,
That you, the true son of God,
At all times,
Even in the deepest humiliation,
Are glorified.
