O My Master

O my Master, how cruel was the shameful death of the cross? Before it carried You, You carried it, O Righteous One

You asked for water, You tasted vinegar and all bitterness. Your blood flowed from Your body to save all sinners

O my Master, how cruel was the shameful death of the cross? Before it carried You, You carried it, O Righteous One

Upon the cross, O my Beloved, You suffered much pain. By those who caused Your suffering, yet You forgave their sins

O my Master, how cruel was the shameful death of the cross? Before it carried You, You carried it, O Righteous One

All this my Lord, to bring me back in Your protection. I’ll live with You and You will comfort me

O my Master, how cruel was the shameful death of the cross? Before it carried You, You carried it, O Righteous One

O that my heart may treasure You so that I may attain You. And live sincerely in submission to You

O my Master, how cruel was the shameful death of the cross? (Before it carried You, You carried it, O Righteous One) x2
