s sin th'All Holy
She beheld, the victim lowly,
Bleed in torments, bleed and die.

8.
Saw her well-beloved taken,
Saw her Child in death forsaken,
Heard his last expiring cry.

9.
Fount of love and sacred sorrow,
Mother! May my spirit borrow
Sadness from thy holy woe.

10.
May my spirit burn within me,
Love my God, and great love win me
Grace to please Him here below.

11.
Those five Wounds on Jesus smitten,
Mother, in my heart be written,
Deep as in thine own they be.

12.
Thou, my Savior's Cross who bearest,
Thou, Thy Son's rebuke who sharest,
Let me share them both with thee.

13.
In the Passion of my Maker
Be my sinful soul partaker,
Weep till death, and weep with thee.

14.
Mine with thee be that sad station,
There to watch the great Salvation,
Wrought upon th'atoning Tree.

15.
Virgin, thou of virgins fairest,
May the bitter woe thou sharest
Make on me impression deep.

16.
Thus Christ's dying may I carry,
With Him in His passion tarry,
And His wounds in mem'ry keep.

17.
May His wounds transfix me wholly,
May His Cross and Life Blood holy
Embriate my heart and mind.

18.
Thus inflamed with pure affection,
In the Virgin's Son protection
May I at the judgment find.

19.
When in death my limbs are failing,
Let Thy Mother's pray'r prevailing
Lift me, Jesus, to Thy throne.

20.
To my parting soul be given
Entrance through the gate of Heaven,
There confess me for Thine own.

Amen

I see my Jesus crucified

Nicola A. Montani

Devoto

1.
I see my Jesus crucified,
His wounded Hands and Feet and Side,
His sacred Flesh all rent and torn,
His bloody crown of sharpest thorn.

2.
Those cruel nails, I drove them in,
Each time I pierced Him with my sin
That crown of thorns 'twas I who wove,
When I despised His gracious love.

3.
Then to those Feet I'll venture near,
And wash them with a contrite tear,
And ev'ry bleeding wound I see,
I'll think He bore them all for me.

4.
Deep graven on my sinful heart,
Oh, never may that form depart,
That with me always may abide
The thought of Jesus crucified.

LENT AND PASSIONTIDE

O'erwhelmed in depths of woe
Saevo dolorum turbine

Tr. Rev. E. Caswall
Nicola A. Montani

Moderato

1.
O'erwhelmed in depths of woe,
Upon the Tree of scorn
Hangs the Redeemer of mankind,
With racking anguish
