Ah, Holy Jesus Lyrics

Ah, holy Jesus

How hast thou offended

That we to judge thee

Have 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

Twas 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 our atonement

While we nothing heeded

God interceded

For me, kind Jesus

Was ty 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
