O Sacred heart,
Our hope lies deep in thee,
On earth thou art in exile’s rest
In heav’n the glory or the blest,
O sacred heart.

O sacred heart,
Thou fount of contrite tears;
Where'er those living waters flow,
New life to Sinners they bestow,
O sacred heart.

O sacred heart,
Bless our dear native land,
May Ghana's sons in truth e’er stand
With faith's bright banner still in hand,
O sacred heart.

O sacred heart,
Our trust is all in thee;
For though earth's night be dark and drear,
Thou breathest rest where thou art near,
O sacred heart.

O sacred heart,
When shades of death shall fall,
Receive us ‘neath thy gentle care
And save us from the tempters snare,
O sacred heart.

O sacred heart,
lead exiled children home,
Where we may ever rest near thee,
In peace and Joy eternally,
O sacred heart
