HYMN Lyrics Text: Oh Come And Mourn With Me A While Lenten Song

1. O come and morn with me a while.

See, Mary calls us to her side.

O 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.

3. How fast His feet and hands

are nailed.

His blessed tongue

with thirst is tied.

His failing eyes are

blind with blood.

4. Seven times He spoke,

seven words of love.

And all three hours

His silence cried

for mercy on the souls of men.

5. O break, O break, hard

heart of mine

The weak self-love and

guilty pride.

His Pilate and His Judas were

6. A broken heart, a fount of tears,

Ask, and they will not be denied.

A broken heart love’s crądle is.

7. O love of God! O sin of man!

In this dread act

your strength is tried

And victory remains with love.
