Author: H. W. Baker, 1821-77 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #382 (1986) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: The New English Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jesu, grant me this, I pray,
Ever in thy heart to stay;
Let me evermore abide
Hidden in thy wounded side.
2 If the evil one prepare,
Or the world, a tempting snare,
I am safe when I abide
In thy heart and wounded side.
3 If the flesh, more dangerous still,
Tempt my soul to deeds of ill,
Naught I fear when I abide
In thy heart and wounded side.
4 Death will come one day to me;
Jesu, cast me not from thee:
Dying let me still abide
In thy heart and wounded side. Topics: Lent Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 13
