Текст песни Ah, Holy Jesus, How Have You Offended? - Fernando Ortega

Ah, holy Jesus, how hast You offended,
That we to judge You have in hate pretended?
By foes derided, by Your own rejected,
O most afflicted!

Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon You?
It is my treason, Lord that has undone You!
'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied You;
I crucified You.

For me, kind Jesus, was Your incarnation,
Your mortal sorrow, and Your life's oblation;
Your death of anguish and Your bitter passion,
For my salvation.

Therefore, dear Jesus, since I cannot pay You,
I do adore You, and will ever pray You,
Think on Your pity and Your love unswerving,
Not my deserving.
