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.
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 this weakened heart of mine.
For me a cleansing bath afford,
And all Thy blood, with life divine,
Revive this weakened heart of mine.
3 The sweat of death upon Thy face
Deliver me from death's embrace,
And all Thy passion, cross, and pain,
With strength my feebleness sustain.
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,
Receive and hide me all in Thee,
Within Thy holy wounds inclose,
And keep me safe from all my foes.
Receive and hide me all in Thee,
Within Thy holy wounds inclose,
And keep me safe from all my foes.
