¶Lyrics / Text

At the cross her station keeping stood the mournful Mother weeping, where he hung, the dying Lord; for her soul, of joy bereavèd, bowed with anguish, deeply grievèd, felt the sharp and piercing sword. O how sad and sore distressèd now was she, that Mother blessèd of the sole-begotten one! Deep the woe of her affliction, when she saw the crucifixion of her ever-glorious Son. Who, on Christ’s dear Mother gazing pierced by anguish so amazing, born of woman, would not weep? who, on Christ’s dear Mother thinking such a cup of sorrow drinking, would not share her sorrows deep? For his people’s sins chastisèd, she beheld her Son despisèd, scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined; saw him then from judgement taken, and in death by all forsaken, till his spirit he resigned. O good Jesu, let me borrow something of thy Mother’s sorrow, fount of love, Redeemer kind, that my heart fresh ardour gaining, and a purer love attaining, may with thee acceptance find.
