Blood of Christ

Blood of Christ

Blood of Christ course through my heart,

That I may love like thee,

Blood of Christ course through my brain,

That I may think like thee.

Blood of Christ, nourish my tongue,

That it may speak for you,

Blood of Christ nourish my eyes,

Let them see as you do.

Blood of Christ flow to my hands,

That they may do your tasks.

Blood of Christ flow to my feet,

That they may walk your paths.

“Blood of Christ fill all my veins;”*

Then You will live in me.

“Blood of Christ fill all my veins;”

Your blood has made me free.

*from “The Anima Christi,” a poem written by an anonymous Medieval writer
