Jesus, loving to the end

Her whose heart Thy sorrows rend,

And Thy dearest human friend:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

May we in Thy sorrows share,

And for Thee all peril dare,

And enjoy Thy tender care:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

May we all Thy loved ones be,

All one holy family,

Loving for the love of Thee:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Jesus, whelm'd in fears unknown,

With our evil left alone,

While no light from heaven is shown:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

When we vainly seem to pray,

And our hope seems far away,

In the darkness be our stay:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Though no Father seem to hear,

Though no light our spirits cheer,

Tell our faith that God is near:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Jesus, in Thy thirst and pain,

While Thy wounds Thy life-blood drain,

Thirsting more our love to gain:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Thirst for us in mercy still;

All Thy holy work fulfill;

Satisfy Thy loving will:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

May we thirst Thy love to know;

Lead us in our sin and woe

Where the healing waters flow:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Jesus, all our ransom paid,

All Thy Father’s will obey’d,

By Thy sufferings perfect made:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Save us in our soul’s distress,

Be our help to cheer and bless,

While we grow in holiness:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Brighten all our heavenward way,

With an ever holier ray,

Till we pass to perfect day;

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Jesus, all Thy labour vast,

All Thy woe and conflict past,

Yielding up Thy soul at last:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

When the death-shades round us lower,

Guard us from the tempter’s power,

Keep us in that trial hour:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

May Thy life and death supply

Grace to live and grace to die,

Grace to reach the home on high:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.
