AMPHORA VI Good Friday T the foot of the Cross is the Mother of God, And Her tears are like rain to enliven the sod, While the Blood of the LORD from His Body that runs Is the heat of the summer, the fire of its suns.

In the cup of the world, as pure water and wine, His sorrow is mingled and mixed into Thine, For a liquor to heal us the children of ni…

AMPHORA XII MOTHER of Our LORD, we ask Thy potent prayer in our distress ; We nerve us for the royal task And sink supine in feebleness. The Eye of Heaven to us is blind ; Time is so sad, and earth so grey ; But by Thine influence we find One steadfast star to shew the way. Thine is the sympathetic balm That eases from Life’s bruising rod ; And Thine the meek eternal calm That brings our souls in tune with GOD Amen. O 79
