Art Thou He? Lyrics

(narration)

PHARISEE
How long dost thou make us to doubt?
CHOIR (in Aramaic)
How long, Lord?

PHARISEE
How long dost thou make us to wait on thy word?

CHOIR (in Aramaic)
Tell us...

PHARISEE
If thou be the Christ, wilt thou tell us, that we might believe?

CHOIR (in Aramaic)
Art Thou He?
PHARISEE
Tell us so, plainly.

(narration)

PHARISEE
Thou blasphemest.
People! Take up your stones.
Hear, how he blasphemeth!
Take up your stones!
Take up your stones!
CHOIR (in Aramaic)
He hath spoken it!

(narration)

PHARISEE
For a good work we stone thee not;
But for that thou, being a man,
Makest thyself God.
