By foes derided, by Your own rejected, O most afflicted! 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon You?

By foes derided, by Thine own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon Thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee. ’Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied Thee: I crucified Thee. 3 Lo, the good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; The slave hath sinnèd, and the Son hath suffered; For man’s atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was Thine Incarnation, Thy mortal sorrow, and thy life’s oblation; Thy death of anguish and thy bitter Passion, For my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee, I do adore Thee, and will ever pray Thee, Think on Thy pity and Thy love unswerving, Not my deserving.

O Dearest Jesus

Author: Johann Heermann, 1585-1647; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #117 (1993) Meter: 11.11.11.5 First Line: O dearest Jesus, what law have your broken Lyrics: 1 O dearest Jesus, what law have you broken That such sharp sentence should on you be spoken? Of what great crime have you to make confession-- What dark transgression? 2 They crown your head with thorns, they smite, they scourge you; With cruel mockings to the cross they urge you; They give you gall to drink, they still decry you; They crucify you. 3 Whence come these sorrows, whence this mortal anguish? It is my sins for which you, Lord, must languish; Yes, all the wrath, the woe that you inherit, This I do merit. 4 What punishment so strange is suffered yonder! The Shepherd dies for sheep that loved to wander; The Master pays the debt his servants owe him, Who would not know him. 5 [Copyrighted] 6 I'll think upon your mercy without ceasing, That earth's vain joys to me no more be pleasing; To do your will shall be my sole endeavor Henceforth forever. 7 And when, dear Lord, before your throne in heaven To me the crown of joy at last is given, Where sweetest hymns your saints forever raise you, I too shall praise you.

O Dearest Jesus, What Law Have You Broken

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Johann Heermann, 1585-1647 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #119 (1982) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 O dearest Jesus, what law have you broken That such sharp sentence should on you be spoken? Of what great crime have you to make confession, What dark transgression? 2 They crown your head with thorns, they smite, they scourge you; With cruel mockings to the cross they urge you; They give you gall to drink, they still decry you; They crucify you. 3 What is the source of all your mortal anguish? It is my sins for which you, Lord, must languish; Yes, all the wrath, the woe that you inherit, This I do merit. 4 How strange is this great paradox to ponder: The shepherd dies for sheep who love to wander; The master pays the debt his servants owe him, Who would not know him. 5 The sinless Son of God must die in sadness; The sinful child of man may live in gladness; We forfeited our lives yet are acquitted; God is committed! 6 O wondrous love, whose depth no heart has sounded, That brought you here, by foes and thieves surrounded, Conquer my heart, make love its sole endeavor Henceforth forever! 7 When, dearest Jesus, at your throne in heaven To me the crown of joy at last is given, Where sweetest hymns your saints forever raise you, I too shall praise you!
