"Behold thy mother!" ST. JOHN, xix.26, 27

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 Oh, may we, who mercy need,

Be like Thee in heart and deed,
When with wrong our spirits bleed:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

PART II

"To-day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise." ST. LUKE, Xxiii.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 Oh, remember us who pine,
Looking from our cross to Thine;
Cheer our souls with hope divine:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

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,
And for Thee 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.

PART IV

"My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" ST. MATT. xxvii.46

1 Jesus, whelmed in fears unknown, With our evil left alone,

While no light from heav'n is shown:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

2 When we vainly seem 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.

PART V

"I thirst."-ST. JOHN, xix. 28

1 Jesus, in Thy thirst and pain,

While we grow in holiness: Hear us, Holy Jesus.

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.

PART VI

"It is finished."-ST, JOHN, xix. 30

1 Jesus, all our ransom paid,
All Thy Father's will obeyed,
By Thy suff'rings perfect made:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

2 Save us in our soul's distress,
Be our help to cheer and bless,

With an ever holier ray,

Till we pass to perfect day:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

PART VII

"Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit" ST. LUKE, Xxiii.46

1 Jesus, all Thy labor 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. Amen.
