-<poem>
-O come and mourn with me awhile;
-O come ye to the Savior's side;
-O come, together let us mourn;
-Jesus, our Love, is crucified.
-Have we no tears to shed for him,
-while soldiers scoff and foes deride?
-Ah! look how patiently he hangs;
-Jesus, our Love, is crucified.
-How fast his hands and feet are nailed;
-his blessed tongue with thirst is tied,
-his failing eyes are blind with blood:
-Jesus, our Love, is crucified.
-His mother cannot reach his face;
-she stands in helplessness beside;
-her heart is martyred with her Son's:
-Jesus, our Love, is Crucified.
-Seven times seven 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.
-O break, O break, hard heart of mine!
-Thy 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;
-for he, our Love, is crucified.
-</poem>
