1. Je- sus, grant that balm and heal- ing In Thy ho- ly wounds I find, E- very hour that I am feel- ing, Pains of bo- dy and of mind. Should some e- vil thought with- in Tempt my treach- erous heart to sin, Show the per- il, and from sin- ning Keep me ere its first be- gin- ning.

2. Should some lust or sharp temp- ta- tion Prove too strong for flesh and blood, Let me think up- on Thy Pas- sion, And the breach is soon made good. Or should Sa- tan press me hard, Let me then be on my guard, Say- ing, "Christ for me was wound- ed," That the temp- ter flee con- found- ed.

3. If the world my heart en- ti- ces On the broad and ea- sy road With its mirth and lur- ing vic- es, Let me think up- on the load Thou didst car- ry and en- dure That I flee all thoughts im- pure, Ba- nish- ing each wild e- mo- tion, Calm and blest in my de- vo- tion.

4. Ev- ery wound that pains or grieves me, By Thy stripes, Lord, is made whole; When I'm faint, Thy cross re- vives me, Grant- ing new life to my soul. Yea, Thy com- fort ren- ders sweet Ev- ery bit- ter cup I meet; For Thy all a- ton- ing Pas- sion Has pro- cured my soul's sal- va- tion.

5. O my God, my Rock and To- wer, Grant that in Thy death I trust, Know- ing death has lost his po- wer Since Thou trodd'st him in the dust. Sa- vior, let Thine a- gon- y Ev- er help and com- fort me; When I die, be my Pro- tec- tion, Light and Life and Re- sur- rec- tion.
