On My Heart Imprint Your Image

(DER AM KREUZ. 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8)

Thomas H. Kingo, 1634-1703; Peter O. Strömme, 1856-1921

On my heart imprint your image,
blessed Jesus, King of grace,
that life's riches, cares, and pleasures
have no pow'r to hide your face.
Let the clear inscription be:
Jesus, crucified for me,
is my life, my hope's foundation,
and my glory and salvation.
