To Jesus' Heart all burning

Aloys Schlor

Slowly

1.
To Jesus' Heart, all burning
With fervent love for men,
My heart with fondest yearning
Shall raise its joyful strain.

Refrain
While ages course along,
Blest be with the loudest song
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By ev'ry heart and tongue!

2.
Too true I have forsaken
Thy love by wilful sin;
Yet now let me be taken
Back by Thy grace again.

3.
As Thou art meek and lowly,
And ever pure of heart,
So may my heart be wholly
Of Thine the counterpart,

4.
O that to me were given
The pinions of a dove,
I'd speed aloft to heaven,
My Jesus' love to prove.

5.
When life away is flying,
And earth's false glare is done;
Still, Sacred heart, in dying
I'll say I'm all Thine own.
