All Mankind and All I Love and Me

Tuesday in Holy Week
by Christina Rossetti


By thy long-drawn anguish to atone,
Jesus Christ, show mercy to Thine own:
Jesus Christ, show mercy and atone
Not for other sake except Thine own.

Thou Who thirsting on the Cross didst see
All mankind and all I love and me,
Still from Heaven look down in love and see
All mankind and all I love and me.
