The Taking Down From The Cross.
Come, let us all sing the praises of Him who was crucified for us, for Mary said when she beheld Him upon the tree: Though You do endure the cross, You are my Son and my God!
The Funeral Of Our Lord.
The First Stanza Of The First State Of The Lord's Requiem.
In the Grave, Oh Life,
You've been laid down, Oh Christ,
And the Angelic Hosts of Heaven were terrified,
Your great and humble condescension glorifying.
