The St. Gregory Hymnal and Catholic Choir Book Part 19

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 G.o.d 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 Br.i.m.m.i.n.g 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; Famis.h.i.+ng 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 th.o.r.n.y p.r.i.c.kles Lo! Thy blood-stained Head appears!

Spread Thy fragrance all around us, Sweetly lulling all our fears!

4.

Heart of Jesus! broken Vial Full of precious spikenard!

Alabaster vase of ointment!

See, our souls are sore and hard: Let Thy healing virtue touch them, And from sin's corruption guards!

THE SACRED HEART

To Christ, the Prince of Peace Summi Panentis filio

Processional Tr. Rev. E. Caswall Nicola A. Montani

With Spirit

1.

To Christ, the Prince of Peace, And Son of G.o.d most high, The Father of the world to come, Sing we with holy joy.

Deep in His heart for us The wound of love He bore; That love, wherewith He still inflames The hearts that Him adore.

2.

O Jesus! Victim blest!

What else but love divine, Could Thee constrain to open thus That Sacred Heat of Thine?

O Fount of endless life!

O Spring of water clear!

O Flame celestial cleansing all Who unto Thee draws near.
