Charles H. Giffen - O come and mourn with me awhile - текст песни (слова)

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.  
Note: the words "our Love" are frequently replaced with "our Lord".
