At the cross, her vigil keeping
Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.8.7 D Appears in 133 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:34 Lyrics: 1 At the cross, her vigil keeping,
stood the mournful Mother weeping,
where he hung, the dying Lord;
for her soul, of joy bereavèd,
bowed with sorrow, deeply grievèd,
felt the sharp and piercing sword.
2 Who, on Christ's dear Mother gazing,
pierced with anguish so amazing,
born of woman, would not weep?
Who, on Christ's dear Mother thinking,
such a cup of sorrow drinking,
would not share her sorrows deep?
3 For his people's sins chastisèd
she beheld her Son despisèd
scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined;
saw him then from judgment taken,
and in death by all forsaken,
till his spirit he resigned.
4 Jesus, may her deep devotion
stir in me the same emotion,
fount of love, Redeemer kind,
that my heart, fresh ardour gaining,
and a purer love attaining,
may with thee acceptance find. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Good Friday; Mary Used With Tune: STABAT MATER Text Sources: 13th century

on Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
while shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
haste, haste to bring him laud,
the babe, the son of Mary!
2 Why lies he in such mean estate
where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
the silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
the cross be borne for me, for you;
hail, hail the Word made flesh,
the babe, the son of Mary!
3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,
come peasant, king, to own him;
the King of kings salvation brings,
let loving hearts enthrone him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
the Virgin sings her lullaby;
joy, joy for Christ is born,
the babe, the son of Mary! Used With Tune: GREENSLEEVES
