- 1O come and mourn with me awhile;
- And tarry here the Cross beside,
- O come, together let us mourn;
- Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
- 2Have we no tears to shed for Him,
- While soldiers scoff and Jews deride?
- Ah! look how patiently He hangs;
- Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
- 3Seven 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.
- 4O 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!
