Ah, Holy Jesus, How Hast Thou Offended,
That Man To Judge Thee Hath In Hate Pretended?
By Foes Derided, By Thine Own Rejected,
O Most Afflicted. Who Was The Guilty?
Who Brought This Upon Thee?
Alas, My Treason, Jesus, Hath Undone Thee.
It was I, Lord, Jesus, I It Was Denied Thee!
I Crucified Thee.
Lo, The Good Shepherd For The Sheep Is Offered;
The Slave Hath Sinned, And The Son Hath Suffered;
For Man’s Atonement, While He Nothing Heedeth,
God Intercedeth.
For Me, Kind Jesus, Was Thy Incarnation,
Thy Mortal Sorrow, And Thy Life’s Oblation;
Thy Death Of Anguish And Thy Bitter Passion,
For My Salvation.
Therefore, Kind Jesus, Since I Cannot Pay Thee,
I Do Adore Thee, And Will Ever Pray Thee,
Think On Thy Pity And Thy Love Unswerving,
Not My Deserving
