wide
That, freely ent'ring in,
I may Thy guest abide,
And new life begin.
This doest Thou, to gain
My love, and e'er retain:
O may my answer prove
A love like Thine, sweet Love!

4.
Here in Thy Heart I find
A haven of sweet rest,
An ever-quite mind,
A mansion of the Blest.
Rock that was cleft for me,
Behold, I fly to Thee,
Like a world-weary dove,
Home to its mated Love!

THE SACRED HEART

Sacred Heart! in accents burning

Sacred Song
Eleanor C. Donnelly (By permission)
Ch. Gounod
Adapted and arr. by N. A. Montani

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.

THE SACRED HEART

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.
