Lutheran Hymnal: 082 - Jesus, in Thy Dying Woes

I Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Luke 23.34 1 Jesus, in Thy dying woes, Even while Thy life-blood flows, Craving pardon for Thy foes: Hear us, holy Jesus. 2 Saviour, for our pardon sue, When our sins Thy pangs renew, For we know not what we do: Hear us, holy Jesus. 3 O may we, who mercy need, Be like Thee in heart and deed, When with wrong our spirits bleed: Hear us, holy Jesus. II Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise. Luke 23.43 1 Jesus, pitying the sighs Of the thief who near Thee dies, Promising him Paradise: Hear us, holy Jesus. 2 May we in our guilt and shame Still Thy love and mercy claim, Calling humbly on Thy name: Hear us, holy Jesus. 3 May our hearts to Thee incline, Looking from our cross to Thine Cheer our souls with hope divine: Hear us, holy Jesus. III Woman, behold, your son! Behold, your mother John 19.26,27 1 Jesus, loving to the end Her whose heart Thy sorrows rend, And Thy dearest human friend: Hear us, holy Jesus. 2 May we in Thy sorrows share, For Thy sake all peril dare, And enjoy Thy tender care: Hear us, holy Jesus. 3 May we all Thy loved ones be, All one holy family, Loving for the love of Thee: Hear us, holy Jesus. IV My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Matthew 27.46 1 Jesus, whelmed in fears unknown With our evil left alone, While no light from heaven is shown Hear us, holy Jesus. 2 When we seem in vain to pray And our hope seems far away, In the darkness be our stay: Hear us, holy Jesus. 3 Though no Father seem to hear, Though no light our spirits cheer, Tell our faith that God is near: Hear us, holy Jesus. V I thirst. John 19.28 1 Jesus, in Thy thirst and pain, While Thy wounds Thy life-blood drain, Thirsting more our love to gain:, Hear us, holy Jesus. 2 Thirst for us in mercy still; All Thy holy work fulfil; Satisfy Thy loving will: Hear us, holy Jesus. 3 May we thirst Thy love to know; Lead us in our sin and woe Where the healing waters flow: Hear us, holy Jesus. VI It is finished. John 19.30 1 Jesus, all our ransom paid, All Thy Father’s will obeyed, By Thy sufferings perfect made: Hear us, holy Jesus. 2 Save us in our soul’s distress: Be our help to cheer and bless, While we grow in holiness: Hear us, holy Jesus. 3 Brighten all our heavenward way With an ever holier ray, Till we pass to perfect day: Hear us, holy Jesus, VII Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. Luke 23.46 1 Jesus -all Thy labour vast, All Thy woe and conflict past- Yielding up Thy soul at last: Hear us, holy Jesus. 2 When the death-shades round us lower, Guard us from the tempter’s power, Keep us in that trial hour: Hear us, holy Jesus. 3 May Thy life and death supply Grace to live and grace to die, Grace to reach the home on high: Hear us, holy Jesus.
