Ah Holy Jesus



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!

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.

Text: Johann Heermann,
Music: Johann Cruger, 1598-1662
Tune: Herzliebster Jesu 


Music performed by Sufjan Stevens
