Jesus, grant me this, I pray

(7.7.7.7)
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.
