Hymn Text
Verse 1
Sacred heart of Jesus, fount of love and mercy,
Today we come thy blessing to implore:
Oh, touch our hearts, so cold and so ungrateful,
And make them, Lord thine own forever more
Sacred heart of Jesus, we implore,
Oh, make us love thee more and more.
Verse 2
Sacred Heart of Jesus, make us know and love thee,
Unfold to us the treasures of Thy grace
So that our hearts, from things of earth uplifted,
May long alone to gaze upon Thy Face
Sacred heart of Jesus, we implore,
Oh, make us love thee more and more
Verse 3
Sacred Heart of Jesus, make us pure and gentle,
And teach us how to do Thy blessèd will;
to follow close the print of Thy dear footsteps,
And when we fall, Sacred Heart, love us still
Sacred heart of Jesus, we implore,
Oh, make us love thee more and more
Verse 4
Sacred Heart of Jesus, bless all hearts that love Thee,
And may Thine own Heart ever blessèd be,
Bless us, dear Lord, and bless the friends we cherish,
And keep us true to Mary and to Thee.
Sacred heart of Jesus, we implore,
Oh, make us love thee more and more
