TO JESUS’ HEART, ALL BURNING

To Jesus’ Heart, all burning\nWith fervent love for men,\nMy heart with fondest yearning\nShall raise its joyful strain.\nWhile ages course along,\nBlest be with loudest song\nThe Sacred Heart of Jesus\nBy every heart and tongue.\n2. O Heart, for me on fire,\nWith love no man can speak,\nMy yet untold desire\nGod gives me for thy sake.\nWhile ages course along.\n3. Too true, I have forsaken\nThy love for willful sin;\nYet now let me be taken.\nBack by thy grace again.\nWhile ages course along.\n4. As thou art meek and lowly,\nAnd ever pure of heart,\nSo may my heart be wholly,\nOf thine the counterpart.\nWhile ages course along.\n5. O that to me were given\nThe pinions of a dove,\nI’d speed aloft to heaven,\nMy Jesus’ love to prove.\nWhile ages course along.\n6. When life away is flying,\nAnd earth’s false glare is done\nStill, Sacred Heart, in dying\nI’ll say I’m all thine own.\nWhile ages course along.
