Rembrandt
Come, you daughters, share my mourning.
See him! Who? The bridegroom Christ.
See him! How? The Lamb of God.
See it! What? His innocence.
Look! Look where? On our offence.
See him, filled with love intense,
as the shameful cross he's bearing.
---
In our distress you still will bless,
correcting us with mercy.
All those who trust shall surely rest
in perfect peace and safety.
St Matthew's Passion
(opening chorus)
JS Bach
