O come and mourn with me awhile

O come and mourn with me awhile,
O come ye to the Savior’s side
O come, together let us mourn,
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.

O love of God! O sin of man!
In this dread act Your strength is tried
And victory remains with love
Jesus our Lord is crucified!

O break, O break, hard heart of mine!
Thy weak self-love and guilty pride
His Pilate and His Judas were:
Jesus our Lord 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 Lord is crucified.(Repeat chorus)
