♪ Hymn
✞ Bible Reference: John 10:11
¶Verse 1
Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended,
That man to judge Thee hath in hate pretended?
By foes derided, by Thine own rejected,
O most afflicted.
¶Verse 2
Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon Thee?
Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee.
T’was I, Lord, Jesus, I it was denied Thee!
I crucified Thee.
¶Verse 3
Lo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered;
The slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered;
For man’s atonement, while he nothing heedeth,
God intercedeth.
¶Verse 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.
¶Verse 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.
