O Come and Mourn with Me
-
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.
-
Have we no tears to shed for Him,
While soldiers scoff and Jews deride?
Ah! Look how patiently He hangs;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
-
How fast His Hands and Feet are nail’d;
His Throat with parching thirst is dried;
His failing Eyes are dimm’d with Blood;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
-
Seven 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.
-
Come, let us stand beneath the Cross;
So may the Blood from out his side
Fall gently on us drop by drop;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
-
A broken heart, a fount of tears,
Ask, and they will not be denied;
Lord Jesus, may we love and weep,
Since Thou for us art crucified.
