O Come and Mourn

O come and mourn
with me a while;
All ye now come
to the Saviour's side;
Come see the One
who frees us all;
The Lord of Life
is crucified.

Have we no tears to shed for Him while soldiers scoff and foes deride?
Upon the cross He bears the pain, the Lord of Life is crucified.

Seven times he speaks
Seven words of love;
His silence too,
cries out to all.
His words of love
our hearts receive
The Lord of Life
is crucified.

O Love of God,
O sin of man,
In this dread hour
true strength is found.
It is with love
we triumph still.
The Lord of Life
is crucified.

O come and mourn with me a while;
The Lord of Life is crucified.
