When Thou wert crucified by men,

O Christ, for Thy companion then

Thou didst accept the base and vile,

Whose hand was stained with blood the while;

O, number us with him, we pray!

Thou who art good and kind alway.

Few were his words, but Thou didst hear;

His faith was great, and Thou wert near;

And first of men, with glad surprise,

He entered opened Paradise.

Be Thou for evermore adored!

The needy's prayer was not abhorred.
