mankind Redeemed blest!
True God of God! In Whom we see
The Father's Image clear expressed.
2.
Thee, Saviour, love alone constrain'd
To make our mortal flesh Thine own;
And as a second Adam come,
For the first Adam to atone.
3.
That self same love that made the sky,
Which made the sea, and stars, and earth,
Took pity on our misery,
And broke the bondage of our birth.
4.
O Jesu! In Thy Heart divine
May that same love forever glow,
Forever mercy to mankind,
From that exhaustless fountain flow.
5.
For this Thy Sacred Heart was pierced,
And both with Blood and Water ran;
To cleanse us from the stains of guilt,
And be the hope of strength of man.
6.
To God the Father, and the Son,
All praise, and pow'r, and glory be;
With Thee, O holy Paraclete,
Henceforth through a eternity.

THE SACRED HEART
To Jesus' Heart all burning
Aloys Schlor
Nicola A. Montani
Slowly
1.
To Jesus' Heart, all burning
With fervent love for men,
My heart with fondest yearning
Shall raise its joyful strain.
Refrain
While ages course along,
Blest be with the loudest song
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By ev'ry heart and tongue!
2.
Too true I have forsaken
Thy love by wilful sin;
Yet now let me be taken
Back by Thy grace again.
3.
As Thou art meek and lowly,
And ever pure of heart,
So may my heart be wholly
Of Thine the counterpart,
4.
O that to me were given
The pinions of a dove,
I'd speed aloft to heaven,
My Jesus' love to prove.
5.
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.

THE SACRED HEART
Heart of Jesus! golden chalice
Processional
Bishop Casartelli
Ch. Gounod
Arr. by N. A. M.
Slowly with devotion
1.
Heart of Jesus! golden chalice
Brimming with the ruddy Wine,
Trodden in the press of fury,
Purest juice of truest vine,
From the Vineyards of Engeddi,
Quench this thirsty heart of mine.
2.
Heart of Jesus! Comb of honey
From the cleft of Calvary's rock,
Sweetness coming from the Strong One,
Dripping from the green-wood stock;
Famishing of death is on us:
Feed, oh, feed Thy hungry flock!
3.
Heart of Jesus! Rose of Sharon
Glist'ning with the dew of tears,
All among the thorny prickles
Lo! Thy blood-stained Head appears!
Spread Thy fragrance all around us,
Sweetly lulling all our fears!
4.
Heart of Jesus! brok
