William Billings's penetrating fuging tune is presented with expansive open harmony and a modicum of notes to preserve the starkness of the text it accompanies. "When Jesus wept, the falling tear in mercy flowed beyond all bound; when Jesus groaned, a trembling fear seized all the guilty world around." A somber, introspective work of intense beauty.
