14th cent. Anon.‡ 1855.
Paraphrase of Anima Christi sancifica me.
SOUL of Jesus, make me whole,
Meek and contrite make my soul;
Thou most stainless Soul Divine,
Cleanse this sordid soul of mine,
Hallow this my contrite heart,
Purity my every part;
Soul of Jesus, hallow me,
Miserere Domine.
2 Save me, Body of my Lord,
Save a sinner, vile, abhorred;
Sacred Body, wan and worn,
Bruised and mangled, scourged and torn,
Pierced hands, and feet, and side,
Rent, insulted, crucified:
Save me—to the Cross I flee,
Miserere Domine.
