Stations of the Cross

Opening Prayer

Song

At the Cross her station keepingStood the mournful mother weeping

Close to Jesus to the last

1st Station: Jesus is Condemned to Death

Song

Through her heart his sorrow sharing All his bitter anguish bearing

now at length the sword hath passed

2nd Station: Jesus Takes Up His Cross

Song

Oh, how sad and sore distressedWas that Mother highly blest

Of the sole begotten One.

3rd Station: Jesus Falls for the First Time

Song

Christ above in torment hangsShe beneath beholds the pangs

Of her dying glorious Son.

4th Station: Jesus Meets his Mother

Song

Is there one who would not weep,Whelmed in miseries so deep

Christ’s dear mother to behold?

5th Station: Simon Helps Jesus carry the Cross

Song

Can the human heart refrain,From partaking in her pain

In that mother’s pain untold?

6th Station: Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

Song

Bruised, derided, cursed, defiledShe beheld her tender child

All with bloody scourges rent.

7th Station: Jesus Falls for the Second Time

Song

For the sins of his own nation,Saw him hang in desolationTill his spirit forth he sent

8th Station: Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem

Song

O thou Mother, fount of love,Touch my spirit from above

Make my heart with thine accord

9th Station: Jesus Falls for a Third Time

Song

Make me feel as thou hast felt,Make my soul to glow and melt

With love of Christ my Lord.

10th Station: Jesus is stripped of His Clothing

Song

Holy Mother, Pierce me through,In my heart each wound renew

Of my savior crucified.

11th Station: Jesus is nailed to The Cross

Song

Let me share with thee his pain,Who for all my sins was slainWho for me in torments died.

12th Station: Jesus Dies on The Cross

Song

Let me mingle tears with thee,Mourning him who mourned for me

All the days that I may live.

13th Station: Jesus is Taken Down from the Cross

Song

By the Cross with thee to stay, there with thee to weep and pray

Is all I ask of thee to give.

14th Station: Jesus is laid in The Tomb

Song

Be to me, O virgin, nigh,Lest in flames I burn and die In his Awful judgement Day.
