Jesus Our Lord is Crucified
O come and mourn with me awhile,
O come ye to the Saviors 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!
A broken heart, a fount of tears,
Ask, and they will not be denied;
A broken heart loves cradle is:
Jesus our Lord is crucified.
lyrics written by Frederick Faber – 1849

Moved by these beautiful words, I took the lyrics of this old hymn and set it to a new melody and piano accompaniment. I would be happy to share the chord chart with anyone who would like to have it. Be blessed!
