Passionslied
 (Sung text for setting by M. Reger)
 See base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In Todesängsten hängst du da,
o Gottessohn auf Golgatha!
Wer kann dein Leiden fassen?
Laut seufzest du: Mein Gott, mein Gott!
wie hast du mich verlassen!

 ... 

Du, dessen Wort den Müden Kraft,
Erquickung Dürstenden schafft,
ach du, du willst verschmachten?
Mich dürstet! riefst du. Niemand will
auf deine Klagen achten.

 ... 

Doch Gott hat dich im Tod erquickt,
dich ewig aller Qual entrückt
und dein Gebet erhöret.
Durch dich wird in des Todes Angst
Erquickung uns gewähret.
