A Hymn to Christ: Another

Jesu, Thy soul renew my own,
Thy sufferings for my sins atone:
Thy sacred body slain for me,
From sin and misery set me free.

The water issuing from Thy side
The soldier's spear had open'd wide,
That bathe my heart, and all Thy blood
Refresh and bring me near to God.

The blood-sweat trickling from Thy face
Prevent my coming in disgrace:
Thy holy passion, death, and tomb
Shall screen me from the wrath to come.

O Jesu, grant this my request!
Take, hide me quite in Thy dear breast,
And make me in Thy wounds to dwell
Secure from all the fiends of hell.

Call me in my last agony,
And bring me, O my God, to Thee;
That I, with all Thy saints above,
May never cease to praise Thy love.
