Lord to thy wishes I humbly bow!

To accept all thy sendings I fervently vow!

Lord, hear my words; Lord, prove me now!

The Crowd

[Cutting him short] Traitor.—Stone him.—He blesses our foes.—He prays for our enemies.—Stone the blasphemer, stone him.

The Strident Voice

[Dominating the rest] Crucify him! Crucify him!

The Crowd

[Echoing the cry and rushing up the steps] Crucify him! Nail the blasphemer to the cross.—Stone the traitor.—Crucify him!

Jeremiah
