352b. Jesu, Son of Mary

1 Jesu, Son of Mary,
fount of life alone,
here we hail thee present
on thine altar- throne:
humbly we adore thee,
Lord of endless might,
in the mystic symbols
veiled from earthly sight.

2 Think, O Lord, in mercy
on the souls of those
who, in faith gone from us,
now in death repose.
Here 'mid stress and conflict
toils can never cease;
there, the warfare ended,
bid them rest in peace.

3 Often were they wounded
in the deadly strife;
heal them, Good Physician,
with the balm of life.
Every taint of evil,
frailty and decay,
good and gracious Saviour,
cleanse and purge away.

4 Rest eternal grant them,
after weary fight;
shed on them the radiance
of thy heavenly light.
Lead them onward, upward,
to the holy place,
where thy saints made perfect
gaze upon thy face.
