Jesus, Creator of the world!
Of all mankind Redeemer blest!
True God of God in whom we see
The Father’s image clear express’d.

Thee, Saviour, love alone constrained
To make our mortal flesh thine own,
And as a second Adam come
For the first Adam to atone.

That self-same love which made the sky,
Which made the sea and stars and earth,
Took pity on our misery
And broke the bondage of our birth.

O Jesus, in thy heart divine,
May that same love for ever glow,
For ever mercy to mankind
From that exhaustless fountain flow.

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 and strength of man.

Jesus, to thee be glory giv'n,
Who from thy heart dost grace outpour,
With Father and with Holy Ghost
through endless ages evermore.
