Lyrics
Apostles and Chorus:
Truly this was the Son of God.
Mary:
The sword hath pierced through mine own soul.
John and Mary:
Thou hast trodden the winepress alone, and of Thy people there was none with Thee.
They shall look upon Him Whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourneth for his only son,
And shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Mary:
The sword hath pierced through mine own soul.
Written by: Sir Edward Elgar
