Hymn/Song Information

Ah holy Jesu how hast Thou offended




Ah, holy Jesus, how
hast Thou offended,
That man to judge Thee
hath 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 man's atonement,
while he nothing heedeth,
God intercedeth.


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.
