The Dream of Gerontius, Op. 38, Pt. 2: Jesu! by that shuddering dread

angel of the agony Jesu! by that shuddering dread which fell on Thee Jesu! by that cold dismay which sickened Thee Jesu! by that pang of heart which thrilled in Thee Jesu! by that mount of sins which crippled Thee Jesu! by that sense of guilt which stifled Thee Jesu! by that innocence which girdled Thee Jesu! by that sanctity which reigned in Thee Jesu! by that Godhead which was one with Thee Jesu! spare these souls which are so dear to Thee Souls, who in prison, calm and patient, wait for Thee Hasten, Lord, their hour, and bid them come to Thee, To that glorious Home, where they shall ever gaze on Thee.
