Prayer Before a Crucifix
Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, While
before Thy face I humbly kneel And with burning
soul, pray and beseech Thee, To fix deep in my heart,
Lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity, True
contrition for my sins And a firm purpose of
ammendment. While I contemplate with great love
and tender pity, Thy five most precious wounds,
Pondering over them within me, And calling to mind
the words that David, Thy prophet, said of Thee , my
Jesus, “They have pierced My hands and feet, They
have numbered all my bones.” (Ps. 22:17)
