I lay this sorrow, Lord, at the foot of Your cross.
Yet another sorrow come my way, yet another loss.
I unite this sorrow to that suffering which You Yourself endured.
Unite it to Your sweating blood in Gethsemane, my dear Lord.

I unite this sorrow to the scourging by which your skin was shred.
I unite it to the thorns which pierced your badly bloodied head.
I unite this sorrow to the cross which was so bravely by You borne.
And to Your crucifixion, at which You were mocked with scorn.

I unite all of my pain, to the pain You know so well.
I unite it to Your sacrifice, of which the scriptures tell.
You suffered in great agony., I ponder this anew.
For Your suffering sweet Jesus, I place all my trust in You.
