- To Jesus’ heart, all burning,
With fervent love for men,
My heart with fondest yearning,
Shall raise its joyful strain.
Chorus:
While ages course along,
Blest be with loudest song,
The Sacred Heart of Jesus,
By every heart and tongue.
- O Heart, for me on fire,
With love no man can speak,
My yet untold desire,
God gives me for thy sake. - Too true, I have forsaken,
Thy love for wilful sin;
Yet now let me be taken
Back by thy grace again. - As thou art meek and lowly,
And ever pure of heart,
So may my heart be wholly
Of thine the counterpart. - When life away is flying,
And earth’s false glare is done;
Still, Sacred Heart, in dying,
I’ll say I’m all thine own.
