Author: Thomas B. Pollock Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #181 (1941) Meter: 7.7.7.6 First Line: Jesus, pitying the sighs Lyrics: Part II
"To-day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise."
1 Jesus, pitying the sighs
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.
3 May our hearts to Thee incline,
Looking from our cross to Thine;
Cheer our souls with hope divine:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Scripture: Luke 23:43 Languages: English Tune Title: SEPTEM VERBA
