TO JESUS' HEART, ALL BURNING by A. J. Christie — Lyrics
About TO JESUS' HEART, ALL BURNING
"To Jesus' Heart, All Burning" is a deeply cherished hymn in our Catholic parishes, especially when the choir gathers for First Friday devotions or the Feast of the Sacred Heart. The song is a profound act of consecration, drawing the congregation into a space of reverence. It speaks directly to the core of Sacred Heart devotion—recognizing Christ’s "fervent love for men" and offering our own hearts in return.
When we sing this piece, the verses allow the choir to build the narrative from a place of awe to a deeply personal plea for grace. The words guide us through repentance for "wilful sin" and a longing to be made "meek and lowly," mirroring the humility of Christ.
The refrain is where the entire church truly lifts its voice. Singing "While ages course along, Blest be with loudest song" feels like joining an eternal chorus. It is a unifying moment in worship, perfect for Adoration or as a communion meditation, leaving everyone with a renewed sense of belonging to the Sacred Heart.
