    The Stabat Mater is a 13th-century Christian hymn to Mary, which portrays her suffering as Jesus Christ's mother
    during his crucifixion. Its author may be either the Franciscan friar Jacopone da Todi or Pope Innocent III. The
    title comes from its first line, "Stabat Mater dolorosa", which means "the sorrowful mother was standing".
    Following the lyrics you will find, below, a link to a recording of this beautiful hymn.

    1. At the cross her station keeping,


    stood the mournful mother weeping, 12. Let met share with thee his pain,
    close to Jesus to the last who for all my sins was slain,
    who for me in torments died.
    2. Through her heart, his sorrow sharing,
    all his bitter anguish bearing, 13. Let me mingle tears with thee,
    now at length the sword had passed. mourning Him Who mourned for me,
    all the days that I may live.
    3. Oh how sad and sore distressed
    was that mother highly blessed, 14. By the cross with thee to stay,
    of the sole-begotten One! there with thee to weep and pray,
    this I ask of thee to give.
    4. Christ above in torment hangs;
    she beneath beholds the pangs 15. Virgin, of all virgins blest,
    of her dying glorious Son. O refuse not my request:
    let me in thy weeping share
    5. Is there one who would not weep,
    whelmed in miseries so deep 16. Let me, to my latest breath,
    Christ's dear Mother to behold? in my body bear the death
    of that dying Son of thine.
    6. Can the human heart refrain
    from partaking in her pain, 17. Wounded with his every wound,
    in that Mother's pain untold? steep my soul till it hath swooned
    in His very blood away.
    7. For the sins of His own nation
    saw Him hang in desolation, 18. Be to me, O Virgin, nigh,
    all with bloody scourges rent. lest in flames I burn and die,
    in that awful judgment day.
    8. Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled,
    she beheld her tender child, 19. Christ, when thou shalt call me hence,
    till His Spirit forth he sent. be Thy mother my defense,
    be Thy cross my victory.
    9. O, thou Mother, fount of love,
    touch my spirit from above, 20. While my body here decays,
    make my heart with thine accord. may my soul Thy goodness praise,
    safe in Paradise with Thee. Amen.
    10. Make me feel as thou has felt;
    make my soul to glow and melt Here is a link to a recording of this hymn:
    with the love of Christ our Lord. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzOmPUu-F_M

    11. Holy Mother, pierce me through;


    in my heart each wound renew
    of my Saviour crucified.
