Jesus, my Lord! behold at length the time

Act of Contrition
Bishop Chadwick
Traditional Melody

Moderato

1.
Jesus, my Lord! Behold at length the time
When I resolve to turn away from crime.
Oh pardon me, Jesus: Thy mercy I implore;
I will never more offend Thee;

2.
Since my poor soul Thy precious Blood has cost
Suffer it not forever to be lost.
Oh pardon me, Jesus: Thy mercy I implore;
I will never more offend Thee; no, never more.

3.
Kneeling in tears, behold me at Thy feet
Like Magdalene, forgiveness I entreat.
Oh pardon me, Jesus: Thy mercy I implore;
I will never more offend Thee;
