LITANY OF THE PASSION, LI

By the scourging Thou hast borne, By the purple robe of scorn,

By the reed and crown of thorn, Hear us, Holy JESU.

By the insult of the Jews,

When Barabbas they would choose And did Thee their King refuse, Hear us, Holy JESU.

GOD

By Thy going forth to die,

When they raised the wicked cry, " Crucify Him, crucify!"

Hear us, Holy JESU. part dra

By the Cross which Thou didst bear, By the cup they bade Thee share, Mingled gall and vinegar,

Hear us, Holy JESU.

By Thy nailing to the Tree, By the title over Thee, By the gloom of Calvary, Hear us, Holy JESU.

By the parting of Thy clothes, By the mocking of Thy foes,

As they watched Thy dying woes, Hear us, Holy JESU.

By Thy seven Words then said, By the bowing of Thy Head, By Thy numbering with the dead, Hear us, Holy JESU.

When temptation sore is rife, When we faint amidst the strife, Thou, Whose death hath been our life, Save us, Holy JESU.

While on stormy seas we toss, Let us count all things as loss But Thee only on Thy Cross: Save us ,: Holy JESU.

1 atrofrols So, with hope in Thee made fast, When death's bitterness is past We may see Thy Face at last:

Save us, Holy JESU. Amen.
