By the darkness thick as night,
Blotting out the sun from sight;
By the cry with which in death
Thou didst yield Thy parting breath,—
Jesu, Saviour, &c.
By Thy weeping mother's woe,
By the sword that pierc'd her through,
When in anguish standing by,
On the cross she saw Thee die,—
Jesu, Saviour, &c.
