Jesus, in Thy Dying Woes

lyricist: Thomas Pollock, 1870
Composer: Koralpsalmboken, 1697

Jesus

in Thy dy­ing woes

Even while Thy life­blood floes

Craving par­don for Thy foes;

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

Savior

for our par­don sue

When our sins Thy pangs re­new

For we know not what we do:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

O may we

who mer­cy need

Be like Thee in heart and deed

When with wrong our spir­its bleed:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

Jesus

pi­ty­ing the sighs

Of the thief

who near Thee dies

Promising him para­dise;

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

May we

in our guilt and shame

Still Thy love and mer­cy claim

Calling hum­bly on Thy name:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

O re­mem­ber us who pine

Looking from our cross to Thine;

Cheer our souls with hope di­vine:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

Jesus

lov­ing to the end

Her whose heart Thy sor­rows rend

And Thy dear­est hu­man friend:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

May we in Thy sor­rows share

And for Thee all per­il dare

And en­joy Thy ten­der care:

Hear us

holy Je­sus.

May we all Thy loved ones be

All one ho­ly fa­mi­ly

Loving for the love of Thee

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

Jesus

whelmed in fears un­known

With our ev­il left alone

While no light from Heav’n is shown:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

Though no Fa­ther seem to hear

Though no light our spir­its cheer

Tell our faith that God is near:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

Jesus

in Thy thirst and pain

While Thy wounds Thy life­blood drain

Thirsting more our love to gain:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

Thirst for us in mer­cy still;

All Thy ho­ly work ful­fill;

Satisfy Thy lov­ing will:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

May we thirst Thy love to know;

Lead us in our sin and woe

Where the heal­ing wa­ters flow:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

Jesus

all our ran­som paid

All Thy Fa­ther’s will ob­eyed

All Thy suf­fer­ings per­fect made:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

Save us in our soul’s dis­tress

Be our help to cheer and bless

While we grow in ho­li­ness:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

Jesus

all Thy la­bor vast

All Thy woe and con­flict past

Yielding up Thy soul at last:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.

When the death shades round us low­er

Guard us from the temp­ter’s pow­er

Keep us in that tri­al hour:

Hear us

holy Je­sus.

May Thy life and death sup­ply

Grace to live and grace to die

Grace to reach the home on high:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­sus.
