Hymn Text
Verse 1
To Jesus’ heart all burning
With fervent love for men,
My heart, with fondest yearning
Shall raise his joyful strain.
While ages course along.
Blest be with loudest song,
The sacred heart of Jesus,
By ev’ry heart and tongue.
Verse 2
O Heart, for me on fire,
With love no man can speak,
My yet untold desiring.
God gives me for thy sake.
While ages course along.
Blest be with loudest song,
The sacred heart of Jesus,
By ev’ry heart and tongue.
Verse 3
Too true, I have forsaken
Thy love for wilful sin,
Yet now let me be taken
Back by thy grace again.
While ages course along.
Blest be with loudest song,
The sacred heart of Jesus,
By ev’ry heart and tongue.
Verse 4
As thou art meek and lowly,
And ever pure of heart,
So may my heart be wholly
Of thine the counterpart.
While ages course along.
Blest be with loudest song,
The sacred heart of Jesus,
By ev’ry heart and tongue.
Verse 5
When life away is flying.
And earth's false glare is done
Still, sacred Heart, in dying.
I’ll say l'm all thine own.
While ages course along.
Blest be with loudest song,
The sacred heart of Jesus,
By ev’ry heart and tongue.
