O Come And Mourn With Me Awhile Lyrics
O come and mourn with me a while. See Mary calls us to her side; O come and let us mourn with her. Jesus, our love. is crucified.
Have we no tears to shed for Him; While soldiers scoff and Jews deride? Ah! look how patiently He hangs; Jesus. our love. is crucified.
How fast his feet and hands are nailed; His blessed tongue with thirst is tied; His failing eyes are blind with blood; Jesus. our love. 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 love. is crucified.
O break, O break hard heart of mine; Thy weak self-love and guilty pride His Pilate and his Judas were; Jesus. our love. is crucified.
A broken heart, a fount of tears, Ask and they will not be denied; A broken heart love’s cradle is; Jesus, our love, is crucified.
O love of God! a sin of man! In this dread act your strength is tried And victory remains with love; Jesus, our love, is crucified.
Who Wrote O Come And Mourn With Me Awhile?
Raised in the Church of England, Frederick W. Faber (b. Calverly, Yorkshire, England, 1814; d. Kensington, London, England, 1863) came from a Huguenot and strict Calvinistic family background. He was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, and ordained in the Church of England in 1839. Influenced by the teaching of John Henry Newman, Faber followed Newman into the Roman Catholic Church in 1845 and served under Newman’s supervision in the Oratory of St. Philip Neri. Because he believed that Roman Catholics should sing hymns like those written by John Newton, Charles Wesley, and William Cowpe, Faber wrote 150 hymns himself. One of his best known, “Faith of Our Fathers,” originally had these words in its third stanza: “Faith of Our Fathers! Mary’s prayers/Shall win our country back to thee.” He published his hymns in various volumes and finally collected all of them in Hymns (1862).
Faber, Frederick William, D.D., son of Mr. T. H. Faber, was born at Calverley Vicarage, Yorkshire, June 28, 1814, and educated at Balliol College, Oxford, graduating B.A. in 1836. He was for some time a Fellow of University College, in the same University. Taking Holy Orders in 1837, he became Rector of Elton, Huntingdonshire, in 1843, but in 1846 he seceded to the Church of Rome. After residing for some time at St. Wilfrid’s, Staffordshire, he went to London in 1849, and established the London “Oratorians,” or, “Priests of the Congregation of St. Philip Neri,” in King William Street, Strand. In 1854 the Oratory was removed to Brompton. Dr. Faber died Sept. 26, 1863. Before his secession he published several prose works, some of which were in defence of the Church of England; and afterwards several followed as Spiritual Conferences, All for Jesus, &c. Although he published his Cherwell Waterlily and Other Poems, 1840; The Styrian Lake, and Other Poems, 1842; Sir Lancelot, 1844; and The Rosary and Other Poems, 1845; and his Lives of the Saints, in verse, before he joined the Church of Rome, all his hymns were published after he joined that communion.
