All ye who seek a comfort sure

(Old Office of the Sacred Heart)
Translated by Father Caswall
Nicola A. Montani

Maestoso

1.
All ye who seek a comfort sure
In trouble and distress,
Whatever sorrow vex the mind,
Or guilt the soul oppress:
Jesus, who gave Himself for you
Upon the Cross to die,
Opens to you His sacred Heart;
Oh, to that Heart draw nigh!

2.
Ye hear how kindly He invites;
Ye hear His words so blest:
"All ye that labor, come to Me,
And I will give you rest."
What meeker than the Saviour's Heart?
As on the Cross He lay;
It did His murderers forgive,
And for their pardon pray.

3.
O Heart! Thou joy of Saints on high,
Thou Hope of sinners here!
Attracted by these loving words,
To Thee I lift my pray'r.
Wash Thou my wounds in that dear Blood
Which forth from Thee doth flow,
New grace, new hope, inspire; a new
And better heart bestow.
