Text: | O come and mourn with me awhile |
Author: | F. W. Faber |
Tune: | ST. CROSS |
Composer: | J. B. Dykes |
1 O come and mourn with me awhile;
And tarry here the Cross beside,
O come, together let us mourn;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
2 Have we no tears to shed for Him,
While soldiers scoff and Jews deride?
Ah! look how patiently He hangs;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
3 Seven times He spake, seven words of love;
And all three hours His silence cried
For mercy on the souls of men;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
4 O love of God! O sin of man!
In this dread act your strength is tried;
And victory remains with love;
For Thou, our Lord, art crucified!
