Author: F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Common Praise #114 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O come and mourn with me awhile;
O come ye to the Saviour's side;
O come, together let us mourn:
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified!
2 Seven times he spoke, seven words of love;
and all three hours his silence cried
for mercy on the souls of all:
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified!
3 O break, O break, hard heart of mine!
Thy weak self-love and guilty pride
his Pilate and his Judas were:
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 he, our Lord, is crucified! Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week Scripture: John 19:16-30 Languages: English Tune Title: ST CROSS
O come and mourn with me awhile
