[Female Narrator:]
On Thursday, the first day of the
Feast of Unleavened Bread
The disciples came to Jesus, saying unto Him:
"Where wilt Thou that we prepare for Thee to eat the Passover?"
And He said: "Go into the city to a certain man
And say to him: "The Master saith 'My time is at hand
I will keep the Passover at thy house with my disciples.’"
And the disciples did as had Jesus appointed them
And they made ready the Passover
Now when even was come, Jesus sat down with the twelve
And as they did eat, he said:
"Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me."
And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him, one by one:
"Is it I?"

[John:]
Lord, is it I? Would ever I betray Thee?
Having known Thy love, could I so cruelly turn away?
Could my heart so fail Thee and my feeling turn so cold?
If I should leave Thee, where would I go?

[Thomas:]
Lord, is it I? Am I then to betray Thee?
Having seen Thy wonders could my foolish heart by swayed?
Is my faith so little that my soul would cease to burn?
If I should wander, where would I turn?
[John:] If I am prone to leave Thee
[Thomas:] If I am won't to doubt
[Both:] Oh, wilt Thou still receive me

[John:] Bind me fast
[Thomas:] Or find me out?

[John:] That I may never wander
[Thomas:] That I may ever see
[Both:] Oh, that my hope seek not but Thee
[Thomas:] That I might follow

[Peter:]
Lord, is it I? Could ever I betray Thee?
Having followed with Thee could I seek some other way?
Though my heart is willing, could my flesh become so weak?
If I should leave Thee, whom would I seek?

[John:]
Oh Savior -
Take Thou my weakness from me
[Thomas:] Help Thou my unbelief
[John and Thomas:] Let nothing overcome me

[Thomas:] Be Thou with my
[Peter:] Sure relief
[Thomas:] Thou art my only Shepherd
[John:] Thou art the only way

[Peter:] Oh, may I ever serve Thee
For it is I who owe Thee my devotion
It is I, yes, I so safely folded in Thy care
Let mountains fall
[John:] Let valleys rise

[All:] Yet one thing shall I know
[Peter:] I will not leave Thee
If I should leave Thee, where would I go?

[Judas:]
Master, is it I?

[Narrator:]
Jesus said unto him: "Thou has said
That thou doest, do quickly."
Judas then went immediately out, and it was night
