Text:Jesu, grant me this, I pray
Translator:Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877
Tune:SONG 13 (CANTERBURY)
Composer:Orlando Gibbons, 1583-1625

342. Jesu, grant me this, I pray

1 Jesu, grant me this, I pray,
ever in thy heart to stay;
let me evermore abide
hidden in thy wounded side.

2 If the world or Satan lay
tempting snares about my way,
I am safe when I abide
in thy heart and wounded side.

3 If the flesh, more dang'rous still,
tempt my soul to deeds of ill,
naught I fear when I abide
in thy heart and wounded side.

4 Death will come one day to me;
Jesu, cast me not from thee:
dying let me still abide
in thy heart and wounded side.
