Here’s how J.S. Bach in his St. Matthew Passion renders the moment on the Cross where Christ says, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” to the following words: [Listen to the mp3 segment here, set to the following words:]

Be near me, Lord, when dying
O part not you from me!
And to my succor flying,
Come, Lord, and set me free!
And when my heart must languish
In death’s last awful throe,
Release me from my anguish,
By your own pain and woe.

Here’s the same moment as Bach renders it in his St. John Passion.
