Station XIV: The Body of Jesus is Laid in the Tomb
V. We adore thee, 0 christ. And we bless thee:
R. Because by thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Behold the Body of our Lord who gave up all for others, now laid in someone else's tomb: the penalty of Adam paid; the seed which, except it be sown, abides alone now awaiting Resurrection and a harvest of salvation for generations yet unborn.
V. Holy god, holy and mighty, holy and immortal,
R. Have mercy upon us.
V. Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,
R. Nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.
LET US PRAY
O BLESSED LORD JESUS, who wast buried in another's tomb and there didst rest on the Sabbath Day; grant that we who have been buried with thee in the waters of baptism may also rise with thee
to dwell in thine eternal and glorious kingdom, who livest and reignest with the Father and
the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. AMEN
See we now our Saviour's body
Borne in sadness through the gloom,
Blessed body sprung from Mary
Hallows now the rock-hewn tomb,
Through the sabbath, 'til arising
He his glory shall assume.
