Tune: Wolvercote
(one tune to \'O Jesus, I have promised\')
Matthew 26 v.30-35
********
After the Last Supper was done
They all did go, each one
To mount of Olives, Jesus to
Then said, Hearken, all you
Shall be offended, for here see
How \'tis written*, so be
That I will smite the shepherd and
You all shall then disband
For the sheep of the flock shall be
Scattered abroad freely
But after I am risen, see
Will go to Galilee
Ahead of you, then Peter said
I shall not be misled
Though all others offended shall
Be, I shall ne\'er, I tell
Jesuse said to Peter, Truly
I say to you surely
That this night before cockerel crow
You shall deny you know
Me, and it be three times you shall
Deny me, I you tell
Then they all said, Though we too die
We shall not you deny
