Edition notes: The voice parts are not named in the source, but appear to be in the order Tenor - Alto - Soprano (Air) - Bass, with the Alto and Tenor parts printed in the treble clef an octave above sounding pitch: the air and bass parts are bracketed together, and the bass line is figured. The parts have been given here in their usual order, clef and octave. The soprano D and C and tenor B and A on beats 1-2 of bar 11, given here as pairs of crotchets, are printed in both these parts in the source as a small crotchet grace note followed by a full-sized minim. Only the first stanza of the text is given in the source: subsequent stanzas, as indicated by the tune's heading, have here been added editorially. The opening words of the text are given in the source as 'My Lord my God why leav'st thou me', but have here been emended to the more usual form of the text.
