Soul of Christ ...

Anima Christi
(Soul of Christ)

Soul of Christ, be my santification;
Body of Christ, be my salvation;
Blood of Christ, fill my veins;
Water of Christ's side, wash out all my stains;
Passion of Christ, my comfort be,
O good Jesus, listen to me.

In Your wounds I fain would hide,
Ne'er to be parted from your side.
Guard me should the foe assail me;
Call me when my life shall fail me;
Bid me come to You above,
With your Saints to sing your love,
World without end.
Amen

(Cardinal Newman's Translation)
