Ah, holy Je-sus,
Em D G Am B
how hast thou offended,
B Em D G C
that we to judge thee
Am G D G
hath in hate pretended?
Em Bm C G G
By foes derided,
G Am G Am B
by thine own rejected,
G D Em B Em
O most afflicted!
Em C G
Who was the guilty?
Em D G Am B
Who brought this upon thee?
B Em D G C
Alas, my treason,
Am G D G
Jesus, hath undone thee!
Em Bm C G G
'Twas I, Lord Jesus,
G Am G Am B
I it was denied thee;
G D Em B Em
I crucified thee.
Em C G
Lo, the Good Shepherd
Em D G Am B
for the sheep is offered;
B Em D G C
the slave hath sinned,
Am G D G
and the Son hath suffered.
Em Bm C G G
For our atonement,
G Am G Am B
while we nothing heeded,
G D Em B Em
God interceded.
Em C G
For me, kind Jesus,
Em D G Am B
was thy incarnation,
B Em D G C
thy mortal sorrow,
Am G D G
and thy life's oblation;
Em Bm C G G
thy death of anguish
G Am G Am B
and thy bitter passion,
G D Em B Em
for my salvation.
Em C G
Therefore, kind Jesus,
Em D G Am B
since I cannot pay thee,
B Em D G C
I do adore thee,
Am G D G
and will ever pray thee,
Em Bm C G G
think on thy pity
G Am G Am B
and thy love unswerving,
G D Em B Em
not my deserving.
