At the cross, her vigil keeping

Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.8.7 D Appears in 134 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.

Author: William C. Dix, 1837-1898 Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain Appears in 208 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:35 First Line: What child is this, who, laid to rest Lyrics: 1 What child is this, who, laid to rest, 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
