139 Jesus, in Your Dying Woes

1 Jesus, in your dying woes, Even while your lifeblood flows, Craving pardon for your foes: Hear us, holy Jesus! 2 Jesus, pitying the sighs Of the thief who near you dies, Promising him paradise: Hear us, holy Jesus! 3 Jesus, loving to the end Her whose heart your sorrows rend, And your dearest human friend: Hear us, holy Jesus! 4 Jesus, plunged in depths unknown With our evil left alone, While no light from heav'n is shown: Hear us, holy Jesus! 5 Jesus, in your thirst and pain, While your wounds the lifeblood drain, Thus fulfilling Scripture's plan: Hear us, holy Jesus! 6 Jesus, all our ransom paid, All your Father's will obeyed, By your suff'rings perfect made: Hear us, holy Jesus! 7 Jesus, all your labor vast, All your woe and conflict past, Yielding up your soul at last: Hear us, holy Jesus!
