¶Lyrics / Text

::::''1.'' :Jesu hail! O God most holy, :Gentle Lamb, an Infant lowly; :Born, great God, a human stranger, :Laid within the narrow manger: ::Refrain: ::Might transcending, weakness blending, ::Greatness bending from the sky; ::Love unending, man befriending, ::God most High, God most High. ::::''2.'' :To enrich my desolation, :To redeem me from damnation, :Wrapt in swathing bands Thou liest, :Thou in want and weakness sighest: ::Refrain. ::::''3.'' :Low abased, where brutes are sleeping, :God’s belovèd Son is weeping; :Judge supreme, true Godhead sharing, :Sinner’s likeness for us wearing! ::Refrain. ::::''4.'' :Jesu, Thine my heart is solely; :Draw it, take it to Thee wholly; :With Thy sacred fire illume me, :Let it inwardly consume me. ::Refrain. ::::''5.'' :Hence let idle fancies vanish, :Hence all evil passions banish; :Make me like Thyself in meekness, :Bind to Thee my human weakness, ::Refrain. '''Lyrics: '''Author unknown (''Ave Jesu Deus''); translated from Latin to English by Henry R. Bramley, 1871.
