139. Jesus, in Your Dying Woes

1 Jesus, in your dying woes,
Even while your lifeblood flows,
Craving pardon for your foes:
Hear us, holy Jesus!

2 Jesus, pitying the sighs
Of the thief who near you dies,
Promising him paradise:
Hear us, holy Jesus!

3 Jesus, loving to the end
Her whose heart your sorrows rend,
And your dearest human friend:
Hear us, holy Jesus!

4 Jesus, plunged in depths unknown
With our evil foe alone,
While no light from heav'n is shown:
Hear us, holy Jesus!

5 Jesus, in your thirst and pain,
While your wounds the lifeblood drain,
Thus fulfilling Scripture's plan:
Hear us, holy Jesus!

6 Jesus, all our ransom paid,
All your Father's will obeyed,
By your suff'rings perfect made:
Hear us, holy Jesus!

7 Jesus, all your labor vast,
All your woe and conflict past,
Yielding up your soul at last:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
