1 Oíd cual ruega al Padre
Clemente el buen Jesús,
Por los que le sujetan
A la afrentosa cruz.
"No saben lo que hacen,
¡Oh Padre!, da el perdón,"
Ferviente siempre ruega,
Ardiendo en sacro amor.

2 Apenas se arrepiente
El pobre malhechor,
Escucha que ha alcanzado
La eterna salvación.
Así Jesús lo expresa:
"Te digo Yo en verdad,
Que en la mansión de gloria
Conmigo hoy estarás."

3 De angustia el alma llena,
Cubierto de aflicción,
Jesús eleva al Padre
La dolorida voz:
"¿Por qué me desamparas,
Por qué, Dios mío, así?"
Y espera resignado
De su Pasión el fin.
