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.
