IRISH SONGS AND LYRICS 425
Rent were the rocks, the sun did fade
The darkening world did quiver, When on the tree our Saviour made
The Sign of the Cross forever.
Therefore I mourn for him whose heart
Shall neither shrink nor shiver, Whose tears of sorrow refuse to start
At the Sign of the Cross forever.
Swiftly we pass to the unknown land,
Down like an ebbing river, But the devils themselves cannot withstand
The Sign of the Cross forever.
When the hour shall come that shall make us dust,
When the soul and the body sever, Fearful the fear if we may not trust
In the Sign of the Cross forever.
