Alone thou goest forth, O Lord, in sacrifice to die is this thy sorrow naught to us who pass unheeding by Our sins, not thine, thou bearest, Lord make us thy sorrow feel, till through our pity and our shame love answers love's appeal.

Grant us with thee to suffer pain that, as we share this hour, thy cross may bring us to thy joy and resurrection power.
