Author: Johann Heermann; Robert S. Bridges Hymnal: Our Great Redeemer's Praise #235 (2022) Meter: 11.11.11.5 First Line: Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended 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, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee!
'Twas I, Lord Jesus, 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, while we nothing heeded,
God interceded.
4 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.
5 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. Topics: Jesus, Suffered, Dead, and Buried Lent and Passion Scripture: Isaiah 53:3-7 Languages: English Tune Title: HERZLIEBSTER JESU
