The Stabat Mater.
105
3.
Who's the man could view unmoved
Christ's ſweet mother, whom He loved,
In ſuch dire extremity?
Who his pitying tears withhold,
Christ's ſweet mother to behold
Sharing in His agony?
4.
For the Father's broken law,
Mary thus the Saviour ſaw
Sport of human cruelties—
Saw her fweet, her only Son,
God-forſaken and undone,
Die a ſinleſs ſacrifice!
5.
Mary mother, fount of love,
Make me ſhare thy ſorrow, move
All my foul to ſympathy!
Make my heart within me glow
With the love of Jesus—ſo
Shall I find acceptancy.
