Tune:BRESLAU

426. Thy Soul, O Jesus, Hallow Me

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 pow'rs 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. A-men.

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,
With all Thy blessed saints on high
To sing Thy praise, and never die.
