CORPUS DOMINI
Jesu, Son of Mary
Author: Edmund Palmer, 1856-1931 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu, Son of Mary,
Fount of life alone,
Here we hail thee present
On thine altar-throne.
Humbly we adore thee,
Lord of endless might,
In the mystic symbols
Veiled from earthly sight.
2 Think, O Lord, in mercy
On the souls of those
Who, in faith gone from us,
Now in death repose.
Here 'mid stress and conflict
Toils can never cease;
There, the warfare ended,
Bid them rest in peace.
3 Often were they wounded
In the deadly strife;
Heal them, Good Physician,
With the balm of life.
Every taint of evil,
Frailty and decay,
Good and gracious Saviour,
Cleanse and purge away.
4 Rest eternal grant them,
After weary fight;
Shed on them the radiance
Of thy heavenly light.
Lead them onward, upward,
To the holy place,
Where thy saints made perfect
Gaze upon thy face. Topics: Sacraments and Other Rites Funerals and the Departed; Holy Communion Used With Tune: CORPUS DOMINI Text Sources: Swahili
