O SACRED HEART

  1. O Sacred heart,
    Our home lies deep in thee;
    On earth thou art an exile’s rest,
    In heaven the glory of the blest,
    O Sacred Heart.
  2. O Sacred Heart,
    Thou fount of contrite tears;
    Wherever those living waters flow,
    New life to sinners they bestow,
    O Sacred Heart.
  3. O Sacred Heart,
    Bless our dear native land;
    May our lord’s sons in truth e’er stand,
    With faith’s bright banner still in hand,
    O Sacred Heart.
  4. O Sacred Heart,
    Our trust is all in thee;
    For though earth’s night be dark and drear.
    Thou breathest rest where thou art near,
    O Sacred Heart.
  5. O Sacred Heart,
    When shades of death shall fall,
    Receive us ‘neath thy gentle care,
    And save us from the tempter’s snare,
    O Sacred Heart.
  6. O Sacred Heart,
    Lead exiled children home,
    Where we may ever rest near thee.
    In peace and joy eternally,
    O Sacred Heart.
