Deign, Jesus, Lord, my soul to hide

1

Deign, Jesus, Lord, my soul to hideWithin thy pierced and bleeding side!O give me in thy wounded heartMy rest to find, nor thence depart.

2

When Satan's wiles would work me harm,And earth with her delights would charm,Within thy heart I safely rest,Within thy side secure and blest.

3

When sense with every art beguiles,And tempts me with her treacherous smiles,I will not fear, since still for meThy side a refuge safe shall be.
