{
Jesu Grant Me This,I Pray
CANTERBURY-Orlando Gibbons
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,
Nought 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.
