Adapted from When Jesus Wept by William Billings. Billings' haunting melody is first presented as a solo, then a pizz. bass-like sound, with the melody in the women's parts in parallel fourths. This is followed by the women in thirds and a coloratura obligato. Finally the pizz. returns with the women singing the four-part round as Billings intended.
