Hear the heart of Jesus pleading
Come and sweetly rest in me,
With a peace and joy exceeding,
Meek and humble ever be;
My fond guidance wisely heeding.
Keep your hearts from passion free.

"Purer than the lily's whiteness,
Fairer than the driven snows,
In the beauty and the brightness,
Of your souls, I seek repose,
Hearts aglow with true contriteness,
Shall the living God enclose!

Heart of love, in you confiding.
We shall learn to do your will,
in your sacred wound abiding,
burning love our hearts shall fill;
grace divine shall keep us striding.
Neath the cross up life's steep hill.
