Moderato

1.
Sacred Heart in accents burning
Pour we forth our love of Thee;
Here our hopes and here our yearnings
Meet and mingle tenderly.
Heart of mercy ever eager,
All our woes and wounds to heal!
Heart, most patient, Heart most pure!
To our souls, Thy depths reveal.

Refrain
Sacred Heart of our Redeemer!
Pierced with love on Calvary!
Heart of Jesus ever loving,
Make us burn with love of Thee!
Praise to Thee! O Sacred Heart!

2.
Heart of bounty Thou art bringing
All Thy thirsting children here,
Where the living waters springing
Tell of hope and comfort near.
O Thou Source of ev'ry blessing!
Sweetest, strongest, holiest, blest!
Be our treasure here on earth,
And in Heav'n be Thou our rest.
