Ah, holy Jesus
How hast Thou offended
That man 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

Lo, the Good Shepherd
For the sheep is offered
The slave hath sinned
And the Son hath suffered

For our atonement
While He nothing heedeth
God intercedeth

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
