Author: Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #342 (2000) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 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 world or Satan lay
tempting snares about my way,
I am safe when I abide
in thy heart and wounded side.
3 If the flesh, more dang'rous still,
tempt my soul to deeds of ill,
naught 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. Topics: Lent; Passiontide; Protection; Years A, B, and C Good Friday Scripture: John 19:34 Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 13 (CANTERBURY)
