O come and mourn with me a while;
See Mary calls us to her side;
O come and let us mourn with her.
Jesus, our Love, is crucified.

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.

How fast His feet and hands are nailed;
His blessed tongue with thirst is tied;
His failing eyes are blind with blood.
Jesus, our Love, is crucified.

Seven times He spoke, seven words of love;
And all three hours His silence cried
For mercy on the souls of men;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.

O break, O break, hard heart of mine.
Your weak self-love and guilty pride,
His Pilate and his Judas were;
Jesus, our love is crucified.

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.

O love of God! O sin of man!
In this dread act your strength is tried;
And victory remains with love,
Jesus, our Love, is crucified.
