GOD, IMPRINT THY HOLY CROSS

Imprint Thy Holy Cross on my forehead!

And let my face look ugly to the world;

And let my life become a thorny-bed;

And let me pass my days thus God, till old.

Imprint Thy Holy Cross onto my heart!

And let my thoughts be free of sinful shade;

And let their earthly tones from them depart;

And let me spend my life thus God and fade!

Imprint Thy holy Cross onto my soul!

And let its sanctity fill up its space;

And let Thy grace guide me onto my goal;

And let me have always a Heavenly gaze!

Imprint Thy Holy Cross all through my life!

And let me not forget it even in strife.
