Thank you! 00:00 Stabat Mater At the cross her station keeping, Mary stood in sorrow weeping When her Son was crucified. 04:01 Cuius animam gementem While she waited in her anguish, Seeing Christ in torment languish, Bitter sorrow pierced her heart. 06:02 O quam tristis With what pain and desolation, With what noble resignation, Mary watched her dying Son. 07:50 Quae moerebat Ever-patient in her yearning Though her tear-filled eyes were burning, Mary gazed upon her Son. 09:54 Quis est homo Who, that sorrow contemplating, On that passion meditating, Would not share the Virgin's grief? 12:41 Vidit suum dulcem Mary, fount of love's devotion, Let me share with true emotion All the sorrow you endured. 16:07 Eja Mater Virgin, ever interceding, Hear me in my fervent pleading: Fire me with your love of Christ. 18:07 Fac ut ardeat Mother, may this prayer be granted: That Christ's love may be implanted In the depths of my poor soul. 20:10 Sancta Mater At the cross, your sorrow sharing, All your grief and torment bearing, Let me stand and mourn with you. Fairest maid of all creation, Queen of hope and consolation, Let me feel your grief sublime. Virgin, in your love befriend me, At the Judgment Day defend me. Help me by your constant prayer. Savior, when my life shall leave me, Through your mother's prayers receive me With the fruits of victory. Virgin of all virgins blest! Listen to my fond request: Let me share your grief divine. 25:28 Fac ut portem Let me, to my latest breath, In my body bear the death Of your dying Son divine. Wounded with His every wound, Steep my soul till it has swooned In His very Blood away. 28:34 Inflammatus Fired and excited by you, O Virgin, let me be defended on the day of judgement. Let me be shielded by the cross, protected by Christ's death, cherished by grace. 30:40 Quando corpus morietur When my body dies, let my soul be given the glory of paradise. Amen.
