1 Thy soul, O Jesus, hallow me,
Thy spirit steep me all in Thee;
Thy body, pierced by ruthless steel,
My wretched soul and body heal.
2 The water from Thy side that poured,
For me a cleansing bath afford,
And all Thy blood, with life divine,
Revive these sluggish powers of mine.
3 The bloody sweat upon Thy face
Deliver me from death's embrace,
And all Thy passion, cross, and pain,
With strength my feebleness sustain.
4 O Christ! turn not away from me,
Accept and hide me quite in Thee,
Within Thy holy wounds enclose,
And keep me safe when foes oppose.
5 In death's dark hour with me abide,
And place me, Savior! at Thy side,
Where all Thy blessed saints on high
To sing Thy praise, and never die.
