Before going however

Language: English after the Latin

Before going however
They were blaspheming him,
Moving their heads.
Jesus however was saying:
Father forgive them
They do not truly know what they are doing.

Translator's notes: Source: Luke 23:34
The NKJV translates the final line poetically as “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
Choral Journal recently published an extended essay on this music by Gounod.
