Benjamin Britten — For I am under the same accusation with my Saviour

For I am under the same accusation With my Savior For they said He is besides himself For the officers of the peace Are at variance with me And the watchman smites me With his staff For the silly fellow, silly fellow Is against me And belongeth neither to me Nor to my family For I am in twelve hardships But he that was born of a virgin Shall deliver me out of all Shall deliver me out of all
