Author: Johann Heermann; Robert S. Bridges Hymnal: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) #14 (1997) Meter: 11.11.11.5 First Line: Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how has Thou offended,
That man to judge Thee hath in hate pretended?
By foes derided, by Thine own rejected,
O most afflicted.
2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon Thee?
Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee.
'Twas I, Lord, Jesus, I it was denied Thee:
I crucified Thee.
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.
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.
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. Topics: Jesus Death Scripture: Isaiah 53 Languages: English Tune Title: HERZLIEBSTER JESU
