MOTHER OF PAIN

This will I ask of Thee
O Lonely One,
Deepest night engulfing me
And I alone
With all the sorrow of a heedless world
Upon my heart.
Loneliness and emptiness
For me apart
That I may share with Thee
Gethsemane.

This will I ask of Thee
O Scourged King,
Bleeding stripes upon my soul,
The hurt and sting
Of mockery and shame
That I may pray to be
Despised, rejected, and accursed with Thee,
Scourge me, Lord!

This will I ask of Thee
O Thorn-crowned One,
No honors, no reward, no gratitude
For words or actions done.
A crown of thorns to wound my pride,
To humble me.
This only, Lord, I ask of Thee.
A crown of thorns.

This will I ask of Thee
O Burdened One,
A cross to bear me to the ground,
To fall alone
And lashing whips to make me rise again,
With bleeding heart to walk with Thee
To Calvary.
