This dramatic reflection upon the scene at Calvary opens with a solo as a quiet invocation, calling believers to the cross to mourn their Savior. Beautiful text images, a haunting melody, and a flowing accompaniment combine to create a compelling picture. The use of the traditional tune Wayfaring Stranger is included with Frederick Faber's 19th century hymn text, "O Come and Mourn with Me Awhile" to give the final refrain a sense of hushed wonder.
