Floating on the midnight air,
Like sweet incense may it bear
My grateful adoration.
Gentle Jesu! may Thy Love
Rest on me as holy Dove;
Keep me pure in Thine own Love,
O Jesu, my Salvation!
Rest on me as holy Dove;
Keep me pure in Thine own Love,
O Jesu, my Salvation!
Blessed Jesu! may my life—
Lost in Thee while in Earth's strife,
Deaden to the sins so rife,
That hinder my progression.
Lost in Thee while in Earth's strife,
Deaden to the sins so rife,
That hinder my progression.
Lovely Jesu! may each day
Bring me nearer on my way,
To that endless perfect day—
Eternal Consecration!
Bring me nearer on my way,
To that endless perfect day—
Eternal Consecration!
