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

When the  priest,  with  holy  unction, Prays for  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.

If my  eyes  have  sinned  by  seeing, And my  hands  are  stained  with  blood, If I  sinned  by  taste  or  hearing. If my  feet  in  vice  have  stood, Jesus! Jesus! Thy most  pure  and  guiltless  senses All have  suffered  for  my  good.

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! Amen.

OST merciful  Jesus,  Who  art  the  consolation  and  salvation of  all  who  put  their  trust  in  Thee,  we  humbly beseech Thee,  by  Thy  most  bitter  Passion,  grant  the  recovery of  his  (or  her)  health  to  Thy  servant  N.N.,  provided this be  for  his  soul's  welfare,  that  with  us  he  may  praise and magnify  Thy  holy  name.
