Thou goest to sacrifice Thyself as a propitiation for all men.
Peter, who said that he would die with Thee, does not come to Thee.
Thomas, who said, “Let us all die with Him,” has forsaken Thee.
Not one of these is with Thee, but Thou art led forth alone,
Thou who didst preserve me immaculate, my Son and my God.
They who promised to go with Thee into prison
and to die with Thee have forsaken Thee and have fled.
Not one of these is with Thee, but Thou art led forth alone,
Thou who didst preserve me immaculate, my Son and my God.
