Ah, Holy Jesus

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

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
