Anima Christi

Had attended the 7:30pm mass in Greenbelt Chapel ... For the Communion Song, the Choir sang "Anima Christi" ... While singing, I felt my throat constricting and suddenly I had tears in my eyes ... I don't know why, but somehow the song had touched my heart ...

Upon reaching home, one of the first things I did was to look up the complete lyrics of the song ... and here it is ...


Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, give me strength.

Hear me Jesus, hide me in Thy wounds,
That I may never leave Thy side.
From all the evil that surrounds me, defend me.
And when the call of death arrives, bid me come to Thee,That I may praise Thee with Thy saints, forever

Hear me Jesus, hide me in Thy wounds,
That I may never leave Thy side.
From all the evil that surrounds me, defend me.
And when the call of death arrives, bid me come to Thee,That I may praise Thee with Thy saints, forever, forever, forever.
