October 16, 2010 St. Ignatius of Antioch, New York City John Stone (video) and Mark Gallay (sound & mixing) English translation: Jesus, life of my life, Jesus, death of my death, You gave yourself for me Into the deepest note of the soul, In the utmost ruin, Only that I do not want to die: Thousand, a thousand times be you, Dearest Jesus, thanked for that! You, oh, you have endured Blasphemies, mockery and scorn, Spitting, beatings, striking and bindings You Son of God, Only to save my arms From the devil's chains of sins! Thousand, a thousand times be you, Dearest Jesus, thanked for that! You have let them wound you, Andojudge you pathetically, To heal my plagues And to put me in peace! Oh, you have my blessing And also my curse! Thousand, a thousand times be you, Dearest Jesus, thanked for that! I thank you from heart Jesus, for your distress: For the wounds, for the pain, For the bitter, bitter death, For your trembling, for your hesitation, For your thousandfold plagues, For your fear and deep pain I want to be eternally grateful.
