I	A
HERE Pilate's Court is	B
None may clatter nor call	C
Where the Wolf giving suck	D
To the Twins glares on all	C
'Strip Him and scourge Him	E
Till flesh shows the blood	F
And afterwards nail Him	E
On cross of wood '	G
O Lord	H
Silence in us the condemning word	I
	-
II	A
Heaven witnesseth but only in the heart	J
Is any aid	K
'They know not what they do ' and then on Him	E
The Cross is laid	K
The Cross that's wide and long enough to bear	L
His flesh and bone	M
A spectacle unto the crowded way	N
The Man goes on	O
The Father's will	P
May we know also and may we fulfil	P
	-
III	A
Beneath the load	Q
The knees quail	P
The heart pants	R
The joints fail	P
Almost the bones break	S
He faints his breath being loss	T
He sinks beneath the Cross	T
May we	U
Be mindful of this road to Calvary	U
	-
IV	-
Jesus His Mother meets	V
She looks on Him and sees	W
The Saviour in Her Son	X
The Angel's word comes back	Y
Within her heart she says	Z
'Unto me let this be done '	-
Still is she full of grace	A2
By us too be it won	X
The grace that brings us revelation	X
	-
V	-
'If He should die upon the road	Q
That were a turn of ill	P
'Tis fixed the Crucifixion be	-
Upon that skull shaped hill	P
Ho man who looks with pity on	O
The Man we take to death	B2
Bear you the Cross I order it	C2
Until He wins back breath '	-
We take	S
Our hearts being moved the Cross up for Thy sake	S
	-
VI	-
Down to her face His face He bends	D2
The helper she the heartner	U
His image in her cloth He leaves	E2
He leaves it too to all like her	U
Who serve within a little room	F2
But run to help outside the door	U
Who mend and brighten needed things	G2
He leaves it to good hearts the Poor	U
May we too wait	H2
Like her and help and be compassionate	I2
	-
VII	-
The Spirit is willing aye	-
But weak the flesh put on	O
Deadly the Cross's weight	H2
He stumbles on a stone	M
And lies upon the road	Q
Seeing His Body's blood	F
May we	-
Forget not in these times that agony	-
	-
VIII	-
Heavy the Cross is	B
He drags beneath its beam	J2
Yet Women of Jerusalem	K2
Weep not for Him	E
Weep for your children rather	U
For that they cannot see	-
The true Son of David	L2
The Saviour shown ye	-
O Lord	H
Also to us say the revealing word	I
	-
IX	-
The skull shaped hill is near	U
The earth and heaven are bare	U
Of light and sight and sound	M2
He falls upon the ground	M2
Knowing that journey's end	N2
Without one to befriend	N2
O Lord	H
Bring us to Life according to Thy word	I
	-
X	-
'Wouldst have me share this cloth	O2
Dividing it with sword	H
Nay fellow we will keep it whole	P
But hearken to my word	I
Behind the Cross the dice	-
We'll throw who wins will get	P2
What's high enough in price	-
To pay a tavern debt '	-
The vesture that makes one with Thee our soul	P
May we keep whole	P
	-
XI	-
'This thong I know will last	Q2
Draw out the arm and make it fast	Q2
Through hand and board with strength	R2
Drive the nail of mickle length	R2
Now King of the Jews in the sun	X
Gape for our work is done '	-
God send	N2
That our labours have no evil end	N2
	-
XII	-
The birds are flying home	S2
Now darkened is the sky	-
And He hath given up	T2
With that great bitter cry	-
The ghost and on the Cross	-
His Mother stays by it	C2
The title rightly His	-
KING is writ	C2
May we draw near	U
Considering in our hearts what Man is here	U
	-
XIII	-
Though pitiful it is to see	-
The wounds the broken Body	-
The Body of Him that was	-
As fair as lily of the grass	-
Though the brow with thorns is riven	X
And a spear through the side is driven	X
It was all for our healing done	X
Mother by thy Son	X
May we	-
This Body in its glory come to see	-
	-
XIV	-
Now in the tomb is laid	K
Who had neither house nor hall	P
Who in the wide world walked	U2
And talked with one and all	P
Who told the sparrow's worth	V2
The lily's praises said	W2
Who kept wakeful in the garden	X
Now in the tomb is laid	K
His Spirit still doth move	-
On a new way of love	-
	-
L'ENVOI	-
Prince by thine own darkened hour	U
Live within me heart and brain	X2
Let my hands not slip the rein	X2
Ah how long ago the hour	U
Since a comrade rode with me	-
Now a moment let me see	-
Thyself lonely in the dark	Y2
Perfect without wound nor mark	Y2
