A Prayer for One that is Lunatic and Sore Vexed

Jesu, God of our salvation,
Hear our call; Save us all
By Thy death and passion.

Jesu, see Thine helpless creature;
Bow the skies; God, arise,
All Thy foes to scatter.

Jesu, manifest Thy glory
In this hour, Show Thy power,
Drive Thy foes before Thee.

Jesu, help, Thou serpent-bruiser;
Bruise his head, Woman's Seed,
Cast down the accuser.

Jesu, wound the dragon, wound hint;
Make him roar, Break his power,
Let Thine arm confound him.

Jesu, come, and bind him, bind him;
Let him feel His own hell,
Let Thy fury find him.

Jesu, than the strong man stronger,
Enter Thou; Let Thy foe
Keep Thee out no longer.

Suffer him no more to harm her;
Make her clean, Purge her sin,
Take away his armour.

Jesu, mighty to deliver,
Satan foil, Take the spoil,
Make her Thine for ever.

Jesu, all to Thee is given:
All obey, Own Thy sway,
Hell, and earth, and heaven.

Jesu, let this soul find favour
In Thy sight; Claim Thy right,
Come, O come and save her.

From the hand of hell retrieve her;
Jesu, Lord, Speak the word,
Bid the tempter leave her.

Hide her till the storm be over;
King of kings, Spread Thy wings,
Christ, her weakness cover.

Jesu, wherefore dost Thou tarry?
Hear Thine own, Cast him down,
Quell the adversary.

Jesu, shall he still devour?
Is Thine ear Slow to hear?
Hast Thou lost Thy power?

Shorten'd is Thy hand, O Saviour?
Save her now, Show that Thou
Art the same for ever.

O omnipotent Redeemer,
Hell rebuke With Thy look,
Silence the blasphemer.

Jesu, all his depths discover;
All unfold, Loose his hold,
Let the charm be over.

Jesu, is it past Thy finding?
Find and show, Break the vow.
And let it not be binding.

Break the dire confederacy:
Shall it stand? No: command.
Say, " 'Tis I release thee."

Safari, hear the name of JESUS,
Hear and quake; Give her back
To the Name that frees us.

Jesu, claim Thy ransom'd creature,
Let the foe Feel and know
Thou in us art greater.

Strengthen'd by Thy great example
Let us tread On his head,
On his kingdom trample.

Drive him to the' infernal region;
Chace, O chace, To his place,
Though his name be legion.

Is not faith the same for ever?
Let us see Signs from Thee,
Following the believer.
