French: JÉSUS-CHRIST MONTE AU CALVAIRE (Passion)

1	God of mercy and compassion, Look with pity upon me, Father, let me call Thee Father, 'Tis Thy child returns to Thee. (Refrain) Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy; Let me not implore in vain; All my sins, I now detest them, Never will I sin again.
2	By my sins I have deserved Death and endless misery, Hell with all its pains and torments, And for all eternity. (Refrain) Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy; Let me not implore in vain; All my sins, I now detest them, Never will I sin again.
3	By my sins I have abandon'd Right and claim to heav'n above. Where the saints rejoice forever In a boundless sea of love. (Refrain) Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy; Let me not implore in vain; All my sins, I now detest them, Never will I sin again.
4	See our Savior, bleeding, dying, On the cross of Calvary; To that cross my sins have nail'd Him, Yet He bleeds and dies for me. (Refrain) Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy; Let me not implore in vain; All my sins, I now detest them, Never will I sin again.
