Fount of love! Touch my spirit from above, make my heart with thine accord. 10 Make me feel as thou hast felt; make my soul to glow and melt with the love of Christ my Lord. 11 Holy Mother, pierce me through, in my heart each wound renew of my Saviour crucified. 12 Let me share with thee his pain who for all my sins was slain, who for me in torments died. 13 Let me mingle tears with thee, mourning him who mourned for me, all the days that I may live. 14 By the cross with thee to stay, there with thee to weep and pray, this I ask of thee to give.
