Was the maid, the mother blessed
OF the sole bcgotten 0nei
How she walled heart how failed
As she quailed, look d and paled
AT ths anguish of her SON! m
Who that man is, sorrow such as
Here could see and not so much as
Let tear of pity fallZ
Who on mother afflicted
Looks with heart that's not CONSTRUCTED.
Can he have heart at all
For his people, grace surprising,
Saw she Jesus agonizing,
Broke with scourges, how'd his head.
o, the pang this. when in anguish,
Lone she saw her sweet son languish,
AS the gasping spirit fed.

Mother, fount of love aye yelling,
Spread of grief the torrent swelling
I'll my soul with thine DER flow,
Till my heart to Jesus turning,
And in holy passion burning
Bids nae his complacence know.
Mother, let this boon be granted,
In my heart the wounds deep planted
Ofthy son, the cruefed
Woes that planned, wounds that stained
Him that deigned to be panied
Grant me with thee to divide.
Let me sorrow from thee borrow,
With the pierced One my soul harrow,
Till breathe my life away;
Nigh the cross l long to tarry,
And my soul with thine to marry
In its agony, pray.
Maid of maidens, first and farest,
Make me feel the woe thou dearest,
To my plea be not averse;
Grant me daring-Christ's death bearing
And his passion with him sharing
All his cross-pangs to rehearse.

With the cl oss on which he anguished,
For his sake to me assign
Heart with thine afre and glowing,
