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?
