NCH 82

Jesus, grant me this, I pray,

Hymn Text

Verse 1

Jesus, grant me this, I pray,
Ever in thy heart to stay.
Let me evermore abide,
Hidden in thy wounded side.

Verse 2

If the evil one prepare,
Or the world, a tempting snare,
I am safe when I abide
In thy heart and wounded side

Verse 3

If the flesh, more dangerous still,
tempt my soul to deeds of ill,
Naught I fear when I abide
In thy heart and wounded side.

Verse 4

Death will come one day to me
Jesus cast me not from thee
Dying let me still abide
In thy heart and wounded side.
