Lyrics

Holy Jesu, by thy passion
 By the woes which none can share
 Borne in more than kingly fashion
 By thy love beyond compare
 Crucified, I turned to thee
 Son of Mary plead for me
 By the treachery and trial
 By the blows and sore distress
 By desertion and denial
 By thine awful loneliness
 Crucified, I turned to thee
 Son of Mary plead for me
 By thy look so sweet and lowly
 While they smote thee on the face
 By thy patience, calm and holy
 In the midst of keen disgrace
 Crucified, I turned to thee
 Son of Mary plead for me
 By the hour of condemnation
 By the blood which trickled down
 When, for us and our salvation
 Thou didst wear the robe and crown
 Crucified, I turned to thee
 Son of Mary plead for me
 By the path of sorrows dreary
 By the cross, thy dreadful load
 By the pain, when, faint and weary
 Thou didst sink upon the road
 Crucified, I turned to thee
 Son of Mary plead for me
 By the Spirit which could Render
 Love for hate and good for ill
 By the mercy, sweet and tender
 Poured upon thy murderers still
 Crucified, I turned to thee
 Son of Mary plead for me
