Hymn 110. Soul Of My Saviour

"Soul of My Saviour" is a beloved setting of the ancient *Anima Christi* prayer, bringing a profound sense of reverence and intimacy to the choir loft. The text is a deeply personal plea for sanctification and protection, asking to be washed by the water from Christ’s side and hidden within His wounds. For generations of Catholic choirs and congregations, these words have provided a quiet, powerful anchor during the most sacred moments of the Mass.

We most often sing this hymn during Communion or as a post-Communion reflection, when the church falls into a hushed, prayerful stillness. The steady, solemn progression of the melody allows the different voice parts to blend naturally, carrying the congregation through each earnest petition. As the verses build toward the final hope of praising God "with Thy saints for aye," the song leaves both singers and listeners with a deep, lingering sense of spiritual peace and assurance.
