113. Order of Holy Unction

Thou Christ alone art great,
In Thee we ever find
Infinite love and tenderness,
And mercy wondrous kind.

Now in Thy love divine,
Come to the sufferers' aid;
In mercy Lord be merciful,
On Whom our wounds were laid.

Thy sanctifying grace,
O Christ send from above;
Seal Thou our souls and bodies now,
And heal us all in love.
