Young and old
Fit and frail
Wheelchair walking cane
Babes in arms
Expectant mums
Walking all the same
These the folk
For whom Christ died
Saints and sinners all
Brought together
Round a cross
Planted in the hall
Christ on Calvary the same
People stood and stared
Jesus gave his mother then
To John and with us shared
Arms outstretched
Embraced the world
Come and follow me
Make a place for all to dwell
Make one family

+ These first two days in the Hall of Westminster coincide with the feasts of the Holy Cross and the Mother of Sorrows – fitting feasts for these days of mourning.
