Jesu, Grant Me This, I Pray

Jesu

grant me this

I pray

Ever in Thy heart to stay;

Let me ev­er­more abide

Hidden in Thy wound­ed side.

If the ev­il one pre­pare

Or the world

a tempt­ing snare

I am safe when I ab­ide

In Thy heart and wound­ed side.

If the flesh

more dan­ger­ous still

Tempt my soul to deeds of ill

Naught I fear when I ab­ide

In Thy heart and wound­ed side.

Death will come one day to me;

Jesu

cast me not from Thee:

Dying let me still ab­ide

In Thy heart and wound­ed side.
