No. 135 Jesus, ever-loving Saviour

GENERAL

Jesus, ever-loving Saviour

Hymn for a Happy Death
Franz Schubert
Arr. by N. A. M.

1.
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 death and sorrow,
Help me in my agony.

2.
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.

3.
Mary, thou canst not forsake me,
Virgin mother undefiled;
Thou didst not abandon Jesus
Dying, tortued and reviled.
Jesus! Jesus!
Send Thy Mother to console me:
Mary, help Thy guilty child!

4.
Jesus, when the cruel anguish
Dying on the shameful tree,
All abandoned by Thy Father,
Thuo didst writhe in agony.
Jesus! Jesus!
By these three long hours of sorrow
Thou didst purchase hope for me.

5.
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!
