The Patripassian Lyrics

The rivers of Babylon flow, and fall, and carry away...
Jesus is alone on earth
Not merely with no one to feel and share His agony
But with no one even to know of it
Heaven and He are the only ones to know

Jesus is in a garden, not of delight
Like the first Adam
Who fell there and took with him all mankind
But of agony
Where He has saved Himself and all mankind

He suffers this anguish and abandonment
In the horror of the night

Jesus will be in agony
Until the end of the world
There must be no resting in the meantime...

Jesus will be in agony
Until the end of the world
There must be no resting in the meantime...
