Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; J. Heerman, 1585-1647 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #5 (2000) Lyrics: 1 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.
2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee?
Alas, O Lord, my treason hath undone thee.
'Twas I, Lord Jesu, I it was denied thee:
I crucified thee.
3 Lo, the good shepherd for the sheep is offered;
the slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered;
for our atonement, Christ himself is pleading,
still interceding.
4 For me, kind Jesu, was thy incarnation,
thy mortal sorrow, and thy life's oblation;
thy death of anguish and thy bitter passion,
for my salvation.
5 Therefore, kind Jesu, 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. Topics: Passiontide; Year A Palm Sunday: Liturgy of the Passion; Year C Sunday Next Before Lent; Years A, B, and C Good Friday Scripture: 1 Peter 2:24 Languages: English Tune Title: HERZLIDBSTER JESU
