Translator's note: The word hosanna (Latin osanna, Greek ὡσαννά, hōsanná) is from Hebrew הושיעה־נא, הושיעה נא hôshia-nā' which is short for hôšî'â-nā' from Aramaic הושע נא meaning "save, rescue, savior". In the Hebrew Bible it is usually translated "help" or "save, I pray" (Psalms 118:25).

In monte Oliveti oravit ad Patrem:
Pater, si fieri potest,
transeat a me calix iste;
spiritus quidem promptus est,
caro autem infirma.
Fiat voluntas tua.

On the Mount of Olives he prayed to his Father:
Father, if it be possible,
let this cup pass from me.
The spirit is indeed willing,
but the flesh is weak:
let your will be done.
