              Who was the guilty?
              Who brought this upon thee?
              Alas,
my treason, Jesus,
              hath undone thee.
              'Twas
I, Lord Jesus,
             
I it was denied thee;
             
I crucified thee.

Johann Heermann, 1585-1647; tr. Robert Bridges, 1844-1930
From the hymn "Ah, Holy Jesus" (Herzliebster Jesu)
