Verse 1
O Sacred Heart,
Our home lies deep in you;
On earth you are an exile’s rest,
In heaven the glory of the blest,
O Sacred Heart.
Verse 2
O Sacred Heart,
The fount of contrite tears:
where’er those living waters flow,
New life to sinners they bestow,
O Sacred Heart.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
O Sacred Heart,
Our trust is all in you,
For though earth’s night be dark and drear,
You do breathe rest where you are near,
O Sacred Heart.
Verse 5
O Sacred Heart,
When shades of death shall fall,
Receive us ‘neath your gentle care,
And save us from the tempter’s snare,
O Sacred Heart.
Verse 6
O Sacred Heart,
Lead exiled children home,
Where we may ever rest near you,
In peace and joy eternally,
O Sacred Heart.
