86. 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 foes 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 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!
