Jesus, ever-loving saviour
Thou didst live and die for me
living, I will live to love thee
Dying, I will die for thee.
Jesus, Jesus,
By thy life and death and sorrow,
Help me m my agony.

Jesus, when in cruel anguish
Dying on the shameful tree,
All abandoned by thy Father,
Thou didst hang in agony.
Jesus, Jesus,
By those three long hours of sorrow,
Thou didst purchase hope for me.

When the last dread hour approaching
Fills my guilty soul with fear,
All my sins rise up before me,
All my Virtues disappear.
Jesus, Jesus,
Turn not thou in anger from me,
Mary, Joseph, then be near.

When the priest, with holy unction,
Prays tor mercy and for grace,
May the tears of deep compunction
All my guilty stains efface
Jesus, Jesus,
Let me find in thee a refuge,
In thy heart a resting-place

Then, by all that thou didst suffer,
Grant me mercy in that day;
Help me, Mary, my sweet Mother,
Holy Joseph, near me stay.
Jesus, Jesus,
Let me die, my lips repeating
"Jesus mercy, Mary pray.
