Oh Come and Mourn with Me Awhile
Fr. Frederick William Faber (1849) John Bacchus Dykes St. Cross (1861)
1. Oh! 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!
2. 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!
3. Sev’n times He spoke, sev’n words of love,
And all three hours His silence cried
For mercy on the souls of men:
Jesus our Love, is crucified!
4 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! Amen.
Puffs of air being emitted from our Blessed Lord’s nostrils seem to signify His expiration: “Father, into your hands I commit my Spirit.” “It is finished.”


Also on Good Friday, Thy Life, O Lord, Is Ebbing Fast.
