Catholic Hymnal: To Jesus' Heart, all burning [French translation]

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.
