First lines
O Jesus, Thou Fountain of solace and gladness Of Heaven's high Three second person divine; Forgive, O forgive me my blindness and madness, And guide to Thy kingdom this spirit of mine.
Dearly, O Jesus, Thou boughtest me, Yon Friday dark Upon the tree.
Thy foes were numerous, Fierce and fell; Few and weak those Who wished Thee well.
Nigh stood Thy mother, Full of fears, Wringing her hands And bathed in tears.
