I. Jesus in Your Dying Woes Luke 23:34
Jesus, in Thy dying woes,
Even while Thy lifeblood flows,
Craving pardon for Thy foes:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
Savior, for our pardon sue
When our sins Thy pangs renew
For we know not what we do:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
O may we, who mercy need,
Be like Thee in heart and deed,
When with wrong our spirits bleed:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
II. Jesus, Pitying the Sighs Luke 23:43
Jesus, pitying the sighs
Of the thief, who near Thee dies,
Promising him Paradise:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
May we in our guilt and shame
Still Thy love and mercy claim,
Calling humbly on Thy name:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
O remember us who pine,
Looking from our cross to Thine;
Cheer our souls with hope divine:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
III. Jesus, Loving to the End John 19: 26, 27
Jesus, loving to the end
Her whose heart your sorrows rend,
And your dearest human friend:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
May we in Thy sorrows share,
And for Thee all peril dare,
And enjoy Thy tender care:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
May we all your loved ones be,
All one holy family,
Loving for the love of Thee:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
IV. Jesus, Whelmed in Fears Unknown - Matthew 27:46
Jesus, whelmed in fears unknown,
With our evil left alone,
While no light from heaven is shown:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
When we vainly seem to pray
And our hope seems far away,
In the darkness be our stay:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
Though no Father seem to hear,
Though no light our spirits cheer,
Tell our faith that God is near:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
V. Jesus, in Your Thirst and Pain John 19:28
Jesus, in your thirst and pain,
While your wounds your lifeblood drain,
Thirsting more our love to gain:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
Thirst for us in mercy still;
All Thy holy work fulfil
Satisfy Thy loving will:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
May we thirst Thy love to know;
Lead us in our sin and woe
Where the healing waters flow:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
VI. Jesus, All Our Ransom Paid John 19:30
Jesus, all our ransom paid,
All Thy Father's will obeyed;
By Thy sufferings perfect made:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
Save us in our soul's distress;
Be our help to cheer and bless
While we grow in holiness:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
Brighten all our heavenward way
With an ever holier ray
Till we pass to perfect day:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
VII. Jesus, All Your Labor Vast Luke 23:46
Jesus, all your labor vast,
All your woe and conflict past,
Yielding up your soul at last:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
In in death our souls may cower,
Guard us from the tempter's power,
Keep us in that trial hour:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
May Thy life and death supply
Grace to live and grace to die,
Grace to reach the home on high:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
