Soul of Christ, sanctify me | |
Famous and merciful one, you are part of Three and One | |
foretold by prophets, | |
lovely soul, Christ of fair cross, | |
4 | clean me within like a jewel |
Body of Christ, protect me | |
Body of Christ, most piteous is the bravado of sins | |
flesh demanded by so many | |
you give health, pure spirit | |
8 | heal, Lord, and keep me alive |
Blood of Christ, inebriate me | |
Blood of Christ, lest I be sadly banished and lost | |
because of the sins I commit, | |
pact of the brightly-praised Lord, | |
12 | keep me from the sin of drunkenness. |
Water of Christ's side,wash me | |
Water from Christ's brave, grievously wounded side, | |
new cross of the protective king, | |
divine owner of hearts without loss | |
16 | the sinless one who holds all life, wash me. |
Suffering of Christ, strengthen me | |
The suffering of Christ from heaven, Lord of the world's prophets, | |
your five wounds were grievous, | |
[this is my] most fervent prayer for a fine gift, | |
20 | strengthen me, great Nobleman. |
O good Jesus, hear me | |
Tender merciful Jesus, turn you to me, | |
the word of light, | |
Lord greatly praised [before] every altar, | |
24 | listen to me without reproach. |
And let me not be separated from you | |
And place for me my dwelling by your side, | |
noblest Lord, Lion of the world, | |
(I will praise you with an endless eulogy, | |
28 | devoted service, like a bush. |
So that I may praise you with your angels | |
With your host, Lord, mighty sustainer of angels, | |
in the light which is never lost, | |
in heaven [we] will all be brought together, | |
32 | may salvation be soon, let it be true. |
Amen | |
Let it be true, we will be brought to the fair kingdom of heaven | |
in humble homage | |
land on high, land of abundant nourishing blessings, | |
36 | endless feast of the Deity. |
