1 Jesu, grant me this, I pray,
ever in thy heart to stay;
let me evermore abide
hidden in thy wounded side.

2 If the evil one prepare,
or the world, a tempting snare,
I am safe when I abide
in thy heart and wounded side.

3 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.

4 Death will come one day to me;
Jesu, cast me not from thee:
dying let me still abide
in thy heart and wounded side.
