desire possess us,
To drink of Thy sweet tide.

3.
We love Thee, Jesu tender
Who hid'st Thine awful splendor
Beneath these veils of grace:
O let the veils be riven,
And our clear eye in heaven
Behold Thee face to face!

THE SACRED HEART

O Heart of Jesus, Heart of God

Lady G. Fullerton
Nicola. A. Montani

Moderato

1.
O Heart of Jesus, Heart of God,
O source of boundless love;
By angels praised, by saints adored
From their bright throne above.
The poorest, saddest heart on earth,
May claim Thee for its own;
O burning, throbbing Heart of Christ,
Too late, too little known.

2.
The hearts of men are often hard
And full of selfish care;
But in the Sacred Heart we find
A refuge from despair.
To Thee, my Jesus, then I come,
A poor and helpless child;
And on Thine own words "Come to Me,"
My only hope I build.

3.
The world is cold, and life is sad,
I crave this blessed rest
Of those who lay their weary heads
Upon Thy sacred Breast.
For love is stronger far than death,
And who can love like Thee,
My Saviour, Whose appealing Heart
Broke on the Cross for me?

THE SACRED HEART

Sacred Heart of Jesus, fount of love

From a Slovak Hymnal
Arr. by N. A .M.

Slowly

1.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, fount of love and mercy,
Today we come Thy blessing to implore;
Oh, touch our hearts, so cold and so ungrateful,
And make them, Lord, Thine own forever more.

Refrain
Sacred Heart of Jesus! We implore,
Oh, makes us love Thee more and more.

2.
Sacred Heart of Jesus! Make us know and love Thee,
Unfold to us the treasures of Thy grace,
That so our hearts, from things of earth up lifted,
May long alone to gaze upon Thy Face.

3.
Sacred Heart of Jesus! Make us pure and gentle,
And teach us how to do Thy blessed will;
To follow close the print of Thy dear footsteps,
And when we fall Sacred Heart, oh, love us still.

4.
Sacred Heart of Jesus! Bless all hearts that love Thee,
And Thine own Heart ever blessed be;
Bless us, dear Lord, and bless the friends we cherish,
And keep us true to Mary and to Thee.
