Author: | J. Hegarty, S.J., d. 1834 |
Tune: | ANIMA CHRISTI |
Composer: | William Joseph Maher, 1823-77 |
1 Soul of my Saviour, sanctify my breast;
body of Christ, be my true saving guest;
blood of my Saviour, bathe me in your tide;
wash me with water flowing from your side.
2 Strength and protection may your Passion be;
O blessèd Jesus, hear and answer me:
deep in your wounds, Lord, hide and shelter me;
so shall I never from you parted be.
3 From the foul enemy my soul defend;
in death's dread moments be my loving friend;
call me, and bid me come to you on high,
when I may praise you with your saints for ay.
