Anima Christi

Blood of Christ, inebriate me;
Water from the side of Christ, wash me;
Passion of Christ, strengthen me:
O good Jesus, hear me;
Within Thy wounds hide me;
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee;
From the evil enemy defend me;
In the hour of my death call me,
And bid me come unto Thee,
That with all Thy saints I may praise Thee
For all eternity. Amen.
