Bach: St. John Passion - 67. Farewell, o weary, broken body:

# Performer: Martin Gatt, Kenneth Heath, Adrian Beers, Norman Knight, Richard Adeney, et al.
# Orchestra: English Chamber Orchestra
# Conductor: Benjamin Britten
# Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach

Farewell, o weary, broken body:
no longer needest thou our weeping.
Farewell, and bring us all to rest.
The grave that waits to fold thee in,
from every grief and pain released,
flings wide the gate of heaven
and locks the gates to hell.

My favourite recording of this work. A cracking 'cast' and I live that it is in English, it makes it so much more involving.
