Hymn to the Sacred Heart[1]

"Be this our lifers one aim To labor for the glory of Thy Name"

O SACRED Heart! what shall I render Thee
For all the gifts Thou hast bestowed on me?
O Heart of God! Thou seem'st but to implore
That I should love Thee daily more and more.

O Heart, Whose reign began upon the Tree
Where Thou didst triumph by humility;
O grant I may Thy hidden ways adore
And know and love Thee daily more and more.

O sacred Heart, I long, I long to love
E'en as the saints with Thee in heaven above,
O dearest Heart, this grace then I implore,
That I may love Thee daily, hourly more.
