Sacred Heart Reflections – 5

To Jesus’ Heart All Burning/O Lord, I Am Not Worthy on IMEEM, by the Daughters of St. Paul, on their CD “Adoration”.

To Jesus’ Heart All Burning
(From: Prayers and Hymns in Honour of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, 1943)

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

Chorus

While ages course along,
Blest be with loudest song
The Sacred Heart of Jesus,
By every heart and tongue.

O Heart for me on fire,
With love no man can speak.
My yet untold desire
God gives me for Thy sake.

Too true I have forsaken
Thy flock by wilful sin;
Yet now let me be taken
Back to Thy fold again.

    You’re both very welcome. This quiet week has reminded me that I didn’t prepare a “retreat” at the Haven like I did in April 07 between Easter and Divine Mercy Sunday . Maybe I’ll do one this summer.
