Full Lyrics
VERSE 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 loudest song,
The Sacred Heart of Jesus,
By every heart and tongue;
The Sacred Heart of Jesus,
By every heart and tongue.
VERSE 2
O Heart, for me on fire
With love no tongue can speak,
My yet untold desire
God gives me for thy sake.
VERSE 3
Too true, I have forsaken
Thy love by wilful sin;
Yet now let me be taken
Back by thy grace again.
VERSE 4
As thou art meek and lowly,
And ever pure of Heart,
So may my heart be wholly
Of thine the counterpart.
VERSE 5
Oh! that to me were given
The pinions of a dove
I'd speed aloft to heaven,
My Jesus' love to prove.
VERSE 6
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.
