O come And Mourn With Me Awhile – Lyrics
O come and mourn with me a-while;
see Mary calls us to her side;
O come and let us mourn with her;
Jesus, our love, is crucified.
Have we no tears to shed for him,
while soldiers scoff and men deride?
Ah! Look how patiently he hangs;
Jesus, our love, is crucified.
Seven times he spoke, seven words of love,
and all three hours his silence cried
for mercy on the souls of men;
Jesus, our love, is crucified.
O break, O break, hard heart of mine:
thy weak self-love and guilty pride
his Pilate and his Judas were:
Jesus, our love, is crucified.
O love of God! O sin of man!
In this dread act your strength is tried;
and victory remains with love;
Jesus, our love, is crucified.
