Why not ask your Parish Priest
for this to be sung
at the Communion at your Masses ?


A Traditional Christian Hymn, attributed to Pope John XXII (1249 - 1334). 
Translator unknown. This perfect little Communion Hymn 
is an English adaptation of the Latin Text "Anima Christi". 
It tells us of the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus in the Eucharist.


Soul of my Saviour, 
sanctify my breast, 
Body of Christ be, 
Thou my saving guest, 
Blood of my Saviour, 
bathe me in Thy tide, 
wash me with water,
flowing from Thy side. 

Strength and protection,
may Thy Passion be, 
O Blessed Jesus, 
hear and answer me; 
deep in Thy wounds, Lord, 
hide and shelter me, 
so shall I never, 
never part from Thee. 

Guard and defend me,
from the foe malign, 
in death's dread moments 
make me only Thine; 
call me and bid me, 
come to Thee on high 
where I may praise Thee, 
with Thy Saints for aye.
