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.
