AT THE SEPULCRE
MORNING
Nos. 36 & 37: SOLO and ARIA (Soprano)
"Where Have They Laid Him...Lord, Why Hidest Thou Thy Face"
| Soprano. |
| |
Where have they laid Him? |
| |
|
Who will roll away the stone? |
| |
I shall go to Him, but He shall not return to me.
Woe is me, woe is me, |
| |
|
for the Lord hath added grief to my sorrow. |
| |
I fainted in my sighing, |
| |
|
And I find no rest! |
Aria
| |
Lord, why hidest Thou thy face?
Lord, why hidest Thou thy face? |
| |
|
Lover and friend hast Thou put away from me, |
| |
|
|
and hid my acquaintance out of my sight. |
| |
|
Lover and friend hast Thou put away from me, |
| |
|
|
and hid my acquaintance out of my sight. |
| |
|
I am in misery and at the point to die. |
| |
|
|
Lord, why sleepest thou?
Why sleepest Thou? |
| |
|
Lord, awake, awake and be not absent for ever! |
| |
Lord, why hidest Thou thy face?
Lord, why hidest Thou thy face? |
| |
|
|
why hidest Thou thy face? |
| |
|
Lover and friend hast Thou put away from me, |
| |
|
|
and hid my acquaintance out of my sight. |
| |
|
I am in misery and at the point to die. |
| |
Lord, why sleepest Thou? |
| |
|
|
Awake and be not absent from us for ever! |
