At the Cross Her Vigil Keeping
At the cross her vigil keeping,
stood the mournful mother weeping,
where he hung, the dying Lord.
where he hung, the dying Lord.
?There she waited in her anguish,
Seeing Christ in torment languish,
In her heart the piercing sword.
In her heart the piercing sword.
With what pain and desolation,
With what grief and resignation,
Mary watched her dying son.
Mary watched her dying son.
?Deep the woe of her affliction,
When she saw the crucifixion?Of the sole begotten one.
Of the sole begotten one.
