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

Jesus, our Love, is crucified,
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.

Jesus, our Love, is crucified,
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 Love, is crucified.

Jesus, our Love, is crucified,
Jesus, our Love, is crucified.

Death came and Jesus meekly bowed;
His failing Eyes He strove to guide
With mindful love to Mary's face;
Jesus, our Love, is crucified.

Jesus, our Love, is crucified,
Jesus, our Love, is crucified.

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.

Jesus, our Love, is crucified,
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,
For He, our Love, is crucified.

Jesus, our Love, is crucified,
Jesus, our Love, is crucified.
