Libretto for the opening chorus
Komm, ihr Töchter, helft mir klagen,
Sehet—! Wen?
den Bräutigam—
Sehet ihn—!
Wie?—als wie ein Lamm!
Sehet—was?—
seht die Geduld!
Sehet—wohin?—
auf unsre Schuld!
Sehet ihn aus Liebe
und die Geduld.

(Soprano in ripieno)
O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig
Am Stamm des Kreuzes geschlachtet,
Allzeit erfunden geduldig,
Wie wohl du warest verachtet.
All Sünd hast du getragen,
Sonst müßten wir verzagen.
Erbarm dich unser, o Jesu!

Translation:
Come, ye daughters, help me mourn,
Look!—at whom?—
at the bridegroom—
See him!—
How?—as a lamb!
Look!—at what?—
see his patience!
Look!—at where?—
at our guilt!
See him from love
and his patience.

(Soprano in ripieno)
O innocent Lamb of God,
Slain on the stem of the cross,
Always found patient,
However much you were despised.
You bore all sin,
Or we would have had to despair.
Have mercy on us, O Jesus!
