Her Triumph by Anonymous — Lyrics
The crowds that waved palms now deride.
He is by Peter thrice denied.
And faithless the apostles flee.
God ruined, who could stay to see?
The passion of the Church begun,
His body Mystic set upon,
defiled by ruthless hands,
in blows and curses, spit and bands.
Crucified in sorrow great,
His truths are posed as crimes of hate.
When His commandments none will teach,
His blood cannot His members reach.
Disfigured and of beauty reft,
He sees below a remnant left.
And in His gasping pleas He entrusts you,
faithful Mother to these.

About Her Triumph
The crowds that waved palms now deride. He is by Peter thrice denied. The passion of the Church begun, His body Mystic set upon. This hymn vividly portrays the suffering of Christ and the nascent Church, highlighting betrayal and devastation. It speaks of His body mystically set upon and defiled, His truths posed as crimes of hate, and His Church seeming to have vanished, extinguished by sin and internal betrayals. The text then turns to Mary, entrusting the faithful remnant to her care, as Christ lies slain for three days of darkness. This moving SB setting of an English text captures the profound sorrow and hope within this narrative.
