Print, O Mother, on my heart,

Deeply print the wounds, the mart

Of my Saviour's chatiement;

He who, to redeem my los,

Deigned to bleed upon the cros—

Make me hare His punihment.

Ever with thee, at thy ide,

'Neath the Christ, the Crucified,

Mournful mother, let me be!

By the Crofs fad vigil keeping,

Ever watchful, ever weeping,

Thy companion contantly!

Maid of maidens, undefiled,

Mother gracious, mother mild,

Melt my heart to weep with thee!

Crown me with Christ's thorny wreath,

Make me confort of His death,

Sharer of His victory.
