Corpus Christi: II

I learned this prayer in grammar school and then began to recite it after receiving Holy Communion ... to this very day:


Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from Christ's side, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Permit me not to be separated from Thee
From the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And bid me come to Thee
That with Thy saints I may praise Thee
Forever and ever Amen.
