Ah, Holy Jesus, How Have You Offended,
That Mortal Judgment Has On You Descended?
By Foes Derided, By Your Own Rejected,
O Most Afflicted!
Who Was The Guilty? Who Brought This Upon You?
It Is My Treason, Lord, That Has Undone You.
‘Twas I, Lord Jesus, I It Was Denied You;
I Crucified You.
For Me, Dear Jesus, Was Your Incarnation,
Your Mortal Sorrow, And Your Life’s Oblation;
Your Death Of Anguish And Your Bitter Passion,
For My Salvation.
Therefore, Dear Jesus, Since I Cannot Pay You,
I Do Adore You And Will Ever Pray You,
Think On Your Pity And Your Love Unswerving,
Not My Deserving.
