Tune: Passion Chorale
(\'O sacred head, now wounded\')
Luke 23 v.26-32
********
Journeying on your Passion
Simon chosen, he one
Of Cyrene, made to bear
Your cross, Jesus, right there
On way to be crucified
For us you bled and died
Sinners Friend, taking my place
And all of every race
Great multitude bewailing
Lamenting, sorrowing
Yet Jesus says, Weep not for
Me, but for yourselves sure
Faithful women and loyal
Now in distress and toil
Weep for yourselves and children
And husbands too, your men
For days are coming when they
Shall say, when in dismay
Blessed are the barren, childless
They shall not see distress
When \'tis said, You mountains fall
On us, hills cover all
Of us, for now \'green-tree days\'
What shall be done [in] \'dry days\'?
