47. Oh! come and mourn with me awhile

1 Oh! come and mourn with me awhile;
See, Mary calls us to her side;
Oh! come and let us morn with her,--
Jesus, our Love is crucified!

2 Have we no tears to shed for Him,
While soldiers scoff and Jews deride?
Ah, look how patiently He hangs:
Jesus, our Love, is crucified!

3 Seven times He spoke, seven words of love,
And all three hours His silence cried,
For mercy on the souls of men:
Jesus, our Love, is crucified!

4 Come, take thy stand beneath the Cross,
And let the Blood from out that Side
Fall gently on thee drop by drop;
Jesus, our Love, is crucified!

5 A broken heart, a fount of tears,
Ask, and they will not be denied;
A broken heart love's cradle is:
Jesus, our Love, is crucified!

6 O Love of God! O Sin of man!
In this dread act your sin is tried;
And victory remains with love,
For He, our Love, is crucified!
