Hymn 96
O come and mourn with me awhile
1. O come and mourn with me awhile;
O come ye to the Saviour’s side;
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. Seven times He spake, seven words of love;
And all three hours His silence cried
For mercy on the souls of men;
Jesus, our Lord is crucified!
4. O break, O break, hard heart of mine!
Thy weak self-love and guilty pride
His Pilate and His Judas were;
Jesus, our Lord is crucified!
5. A broken heart, a fount of tears,
Ask, and they will not be denied;
A broken heart love’s cradle is;
Jesus, our Lord is crucified!
6. O love of God! O sin of men!
In this dread act your strength is tried,
And victory remains with love;
Jesus our Lord is crucified!
