Sweet Heart of Jesus, font of love and mercy
Today we come, Thy blessing to implore.
Oh touch our hearts, so cold and so ungrateful
And make them Lord, Thine own for evermore.
Sweet Heart of Jesus we implore,
Oh make us love Thee more and more.
Sweet heart of Jesus, make us know and love thee,
Unfold to us the treasures of thy grace;
That so our hearts, from things of earth uplifted,
May long alone to gaze upon thy face.
Sweet Heart of Jesus we implore,
Oh make us love Thee more and more
Sweet Heart of Jesus, make us pure and gentle
And teach us how to do Thy blessed will;
To follow close the print of Thy dear footsteps
And when we fall, Sweet Heart, oh love us still.
Sweet Heart of Jesus we implore,
Oh make us love Thee more and more.
