A morrer crucificado (Via-Sacra) III — Lyrics
A morrer crucificado,
teu Jesus é condenado,
por teus crimes, pecador.
Pela Virgem dolorosa,
Vossa Mãe tão piedosa,
perdoaime bom Jesus.
Com a cruz é carregado
E do peso acabrunhado
Vai morrer por teu amor.
Pela cruz tão oprimido
Cai Jesus desfalecido
Pela tua salvação.
De Maria lacrimosa
Sua mãe tão dolorosa
Vê a imensa comoção.
Em extremo desmaiado,
Deve auxílio, tão cansado,
Receber do Cireneu.
