This have I done for my true love
op.34
( Tomorrow shall be my dancing day ; Then was I born of a Virgin pure ; In a manger laid and wrapp'd I was ; Then afterwards baptised I was ; Into the desert I was led ; The Jews on me they made great suit ; For thirty pence Judas me sold ; Before Pilate the Jews me brought ; They scourged me and set me at nought ; When on the cross hanged I was ; Then down to Hell I took my way ; Then up to Heav'n I did ascend ; Sing oh my love )
