160. O come and mourn with me awhile

1 O come and mourn with me awhile,
And tarry here the cross beside;
O come together, let us mourn;
Jesus, our Lord, 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 Lord, is crucified!

3 Sev'n times He spake, sev'n words of love;
And all three hours His silence cried
For mercy on the souls of men;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified!

4 O love of God! O sin of man!
In this dread act your strength is tried;
And victory remains with love;
For Thou our Lord, art crucified!
