Lyrics
O COME AND MOURN
O come and mourn with me awhile
All ye now come to the saviors 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 awhile
The Lord of Life is crucified.
