Lyrics
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 ev’ry heart and tongue.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By ev’ry 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.
Refrain.
While ages course along,
Blest be with loudest song,
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By ev’ry heart and tongue.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By ev’ry heart and tongue.
Too true, I have forsaken
Thy love for wilful sin;
Yet now let me be taken
Back by thy grace again.
Refrain.
While ages course along,
Blest be with loudest song,
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By ev’ry heart and tongue.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By ev’ry heart and tongue.
As thou art meek and lowly,
And ever pure of heart,
So may my heart be wholly
Of thine the counterpart.
Refrain.
While ages course along,
Blest be with loudest song,
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By ev’ry heart and tongue.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By ev’ry heart and tongue.
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.
Refrain.
While ages course along,
Blest be with loudest song,
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By ev’ry heart and tongue.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By ev’ry heart and tongue.
