Jars of Clay - O Come And Mourn With Me Awhile lyrics

O Come & Mourn With Me Awhile (Our Lord Is Crucified)

Words by Frederick W. Faber Music by Eric Ashley

O Come and Mourn with me awhile

O come near to the Savior's side

O come together, let us mourn

Jesus our lord is crucified

Seven times he spoke

Seven words of love

And all three hours, his silence cried

For mercy on the souls of men

Jesus our Lord is crucified

O Love of God O sin of man

In this dread act your strength is tried

And victory remains with love

Jesus our lord is crucified

O break, O break hard heart of mind

My weak self love and guilty pride

His Pilate and his Judas were

Jesus our lord is crucified

O love of god o sin of man

In this dread act your strength is tried

And victory remains in love

Jesus our lord is crucified

O Come and mourn with me awhile

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

Jesus our Lord is crucified

Jesus our Lord is crucified

Our Lord is crucified

And victory remains with love

Jesus our lord is crucified

O love of God o sin of man

In this dread act your strength is tried

And victory remains with love

Jesus our lord is crucified
