O Sacred Heart of Jesus Dear 13
Act of Consecration
I. Williams Old Melody
 
  1. O Sacred Heart! O Heart of Jesus dear!
    O Sacred Heart aflame with love divine;
    Take thou my heart, draw me each day more near;
    Take thou my heart, Take thou my heart,
    Take thou my heart and let it rest in thine.
  2. Pierced by the lance on Calvary's cruel Tree,
    A Saving Flood of priceless graces poured,
    From his dear Heart, whose Blood was shed for me;
    The Sacred Heart, The Sacred Heart,
    The Sacred Heart, the loving Heart of God.
  3. O Sacred Heart, true source of heavenly bliss,
    Of peace divine which thou alone canst give;
    What sweeter lot could mortal ask than this
    To die for thee, To die for thee,
    To die for thee with thee in heaven to be?
