SOUL OF CHRIST.
Soul of Christ, be my sanctification;
Body of Christ, be my salvation;
Blood of Christ, fill all my veins;
Water of Christ's side, wash out my stains;
Passion of Christ, my comfort be;
O good Jesu, listen to me;
In Thy wounds I fain would hide,
Ne'er to be parted from thy side;
Guard me, should the foe assail me;
Call me when my life shall fail me;
Bid me come to Thee above,
With Thy Saints to sing Thy love.
World without end. Amen.
300 days at any time; seven years after Communion.
AVE VERUM.
Hail to Thee, true body sprung
From the Virgin Mary's womb,
The same that on the cross was hung,
And bore for man the bitter doom;
Thy whole side was pierced, and flowed
Both with water and with blood;
Suffer us to taste of Thee,
In our life's last agony.
O kind, O loving one,
O sweet Jesu, Mary's Son.
