49. Soul of Jesus

1 Soul of Jesus, make me holy,
Make me contrite, meek and lowly;
Soul most stainless, Soul divine,
Cleanse this sordid soul of mine;
Hallow this polluted soul,
Purify it, make it whole;
Soul of Jesus, hallow me;
Miserere Domine!

2 Save me, Body of my Lord,
Save a sinner vile abhorred;
Sacred Body, wan and worn,
Bruised and mangled, crushed and torn;
Pierced hands and feet and side,
Scourged, insulted, crucified;
Save me, to the cross I flee;
Miserere Domine!

3 Miserere! let me be never parted,
Lord from Thee;
Guard me from my ruthless foe,
Save me from eternal woe.
In the dreadful judgement day,
Be thy cross my hope and stay;
When the hour of death is near,
And my spirit faints for fear,
Call me with Thy voice of love,
Place me near to Thee above,
With thine angel hosts to raise
Never ending hymns of praise.
