Some rightly celebrate Thy holy virgin fame: Some praise renowned and great Thine Apostolic name; And some would thee instate Among the Prophet Choir: Christ's Martyr doth our lays inspire. 2. With Him thou wast assailed By foes with savage force, In spirit with Him nailed, Unto the painful Cross; Thy sympathy bewailed His piteous travail there; Thou didst with Him those sorrows share. 3. In His expiring throe, With hanging on the Tree, His childless Mother's woe He heals by proffering thee; Doth thee on her bestow, And her to thee entrust, Virgin to virgin, as was just. 4. What pledge could earth afford, So precious and Divine? True Mother of thy Lord! Yet also truly thine! A son to her restored, Thou dost with filial care The loss of Him, her Son, repair! 5. He, outcast and alone, His Eyesight quenched in death, His Will to thee made known With His expiring Breath; And from that hallowed Throne. Which crimson currents streak, Did to the listening nations speak. 6. O Christ's companion true! May we our steps incline, That pathway to pursue Where Love conducted thine! His Grace our souls endue, With Him the Cross to bear And in His Precious Death to share! Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z # |
