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.

THE SACRED HEART
Heart of Jesus! golden chalice
Processional
Bishop Casartelli
Ch. Gounod
Arr. by N. A. M.
Slowly with devotion
1.
Heart of Jesus! golden chalice
Brimming with the ruddy Wine,
Trodden in the press of fury,
Purest juice of truest vine,
From the Vineyards of Engeddi,
Quench this thirsty heart of mine.
2.
Heart of Jesus! Comb of honey
From the cleft of Calvary's rock,
Sweetness coming from the Strong One,
Dripping from the green-wood stock;
Famishing of death is on us:
Feed, oh, feed Thy hungry flock!
3.
Heart of Jesus! Rose of Sharon
Glist'ning with the dew of tears,
All among the thorny prickles
Lo! Thy blood-stained Head appears!
Spread Thy fragrance all around us,
Sweetly lulling all our fears!
4.
Heart of Jesus! broken Vial
Full of precious spikenard!
Alabaster vase of ointment!
See, our souls are sore and hard:
Let Thy healing virtue touch them,
And from sin's corruption guards!

THE SACRED HEART
To Christ, the Prince of Peace
Summi Panentis filio
Processional
Tr. Rev. E. Caswall
Nicola A. Montani
With Spirit
1.
To Christ, the Prince of Peace,
And Son of God most high,
The Father of the world to come,
Sing we with holy joy.
Deep in His heart for us
The wound of love He bore;
That love, wherewith He still inflames
The hearts that Him adore.
2.
O Jesus! Victim blest!
What else but love divine,
Could Thee constrain to open thus
That Sacred Heat of Thine?
O Fount of endless life!
O Spring of water clear!
O Flame celestial cleansing all
Who unto Thee draws near.
3.
Hide me in Thy dear Heart,
For thither do I fly;
There seek Thy grace thro' life,
In death Thine immortality.
Praise to the Father be,
And sole begotten Son,
Praise, Holy Paraclete, to Thee
While endless ages run.

THE SACRED HEART
O Heart of Jesus, purest Heart
(Cor Jesu, Cor purissimum)
Translated by Father M. Russell, S. J.
Traditional Melody
Con anima
1.
O Heart of Jesus, purest Heart,
A Shrine of holiness Thou art;
Cleanse Thou, my heart, so sordid cold,
And stained by sins so manifold.
2.
Take from me, Lord, this tepid will,
Which doth Thy Heart with loathing fill;
And then infuse a spirit new,
A fervent spirit, deep and true.
3.
Most humble Heart of all that beat,
Heart full of goodness, meek and sweet,
Give me a heart more like to Thine,
And light the flame of love in mine.
4.
But, ah, were e'en my heart on fire
With all the seraphim's desire,
Till love a conflagration proved,
Not yet wouldst Thou enough be loved.
