141. Soul of my Saviour

1 Soul of my Saviour! sanctify my breast:
Thy blessed Body be my saving Guest;
Blood of my Jesus! bathe me in thy tide,
Wash me, ye waters streaming from His side,
Wash me, ye waters streaming from His side.

2 Strength and protection may His passion be;
Jesus! hear my sighs and answer me!
Deep in Thy Heart, Lord, hide and shelter me;
So shall I never, never part from Thee,
So shall I never, never part from Thee.

3 Guard and defend me from the foe malign,
In death's dread moments make me only Thine;
Call me, and bid me come to Thee on high,
Where I may praise Thee, reigning in the sky.
