Ground we hold, whereon of old Fought the faithful and the bold. 3 Fighting, we shall be victorious By the blood of Christ our Lord; On our foreheads, bright and glorious, Shines the witness of his word; Spear and shield on battlefield, His great Name; we cannot yield. 4 When his servants stand before him Each receiving his reward, When his saints in light adore him, Giving glory to the Lord; 'Victory!' our song shall be Like the thunder of the sea.

Not ours, not ours the merit; Be Thine alone the praise, And ours a thankful spirit To serve Thee all our days. 4 Now keep us, Holy Savior, In Thy true love and fear; And grant us of Thy favor The grace to persevere; Till, in Thy new creation, Earth’s time-long travail o’er, We find our full salvation, And praise Thee evermore.

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Appears in 144 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Holy Week; The Church Year Good Friday Lyrics: 1 At the Cross, her station keeping, Stood the mournful mother weeping, Where he hung, the dying Lord; For her soul, of joy bereaved, Bowed with anguish, deeply grieved, Felt the sharp and piercing sword. 2 O, how sad and sore distressed Now was she, that mother blessed Of the sole-begotten One. Deep the woe of her affliction, When she saw the crucifixion Of her ever-glorious Son. A-men. 3 Who, on Christ's dear mother gazing, Pierced with anguish so amazing, Born of woman, would not weep? Who, on Christ's dear mother thinking, Such a cup of sorrow drinking, Would not share her sorrows deep? 4 For his people's sins chastisèd, She beheld her Son despisèd, Scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined; Saw him then from judgment taken, And in death by all forsaken, Till his spirit he resigned. 5 Jesus, may her deep devotion Stir in me the same emotion, Fount of love, Redeemer kind, That my heart, fresh ardor gaining And a purer love attaining, May with thee acceptance find. Amen. Used With Tune: STABAT MATER (MAINZ) Text Sources: XIII cent.
