Gallus' motet (1587) was very popular, also during Good Friday Vespers, both in roman-Catholic and Lutheran services. The text is derived from a tenebrae responsory, also used in the Office of the Dead. It's based on Isaiah 57:1–2 (not in the Vulgate translation, but??) and a verse from Psalm 75:3 - modern Bibles: Psalm 76:2. This part can differ, according to the circumstances. Martin Luther included this responsory in his service book for a funeral liturgy (bibletexts, versicles, hymns, both in Latin and German) of 1542: "Christliche Geseng Lateinsich und Deudsch zum Begrebnis." The hymns (1 Latin - 'Iam moesta'; 6 German) are preceded by seven Latin biblical responsories with notated chants, among which ecce quomodo. (NB: the 'Verse' differs from the Gallus version)
