"Eidolon" in this context means "the spiritual counterpart to a material object."
Carven Christ, on cross you gaze
down at me with graven eyes—
no idol but an icon,
for Christ is your eidolon.
Carven Christ the Crucified,
encourage me in Christ's code;
save by your look from my sin,
let me leave the deed undone.
Carven Christ, correct my gaze,
guard me with your graven eyes,
with no power but the pain
pictured of your eidolon.
