1. Jesus, pitying the sighs
Of the thief who near Thee dies,
Promising him Paradise:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
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.
Still Thy love and mercy claim,
Calling humbly on Thy name:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
3. May our hearts to Thee incline,
Looking from our cross to Thine,
Cheer our souls with hope divine:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
Looking from our cross to Thine,
Cheer our souls with hope divine:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
