747. Deign, Jesus, Lord, my soul to hide

1 Deign, Jesus, Lord, my soul to hide
Within thy pierced and bleeding side!
O give me in thy wounded heart
My rest to find, nor thence depart.

2 When Satan's wiles would work me harm,
And earth with her delights would charm,
Within thy heart I safely rest,
Within thy side secure and blest.

3 When sense with every art beguiles,
And tempts me with her treacherous smiles,
I will not fear, since still for me
Thy side a refuge safe shall be.
