Jesus in Thy Dying Woes - #180

 

"Jesus, in Thy Dying Woes"
"The Seven Words on the Cross"
by Thomas B. Pollock, 1836-1896

1. Jesus, in Thy dying woes
Even while Thy life-blood flows,
Craving pardon for Thy foes:
Hear us, holy Jesus.

2. Savior, 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.
