EJACULATION TO OUR LADY OF THE SACRED HEART
Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, pray for us.
Indulgence of 100 days, each time. — Pius X, July 9, 1904.
Hymn for the Confraternity of the Bona Mors
Jesus! Ever-loving Saviour
Jesus! ever-loving Saviour,
Thou didst live and die for me;
Living, I will live to love Thee,
Dying, I will die for Thee.
Jesus! Jesus!
By Thy life and death of sorrow.
Help me in my agony.
When the last dread hour approaching
Fills my guilty soul with fear,
All my sins rise up before me,
All my virtues disappear.
Jesus ! Jesus !
Turn not Thou in anger from me;
Mary ! Joseph ! then be near.
Kindest Jesus ! Thou wert standing
By Thy foster-father's bed,
While Thy mother, softly praying,
Held her dying Joseph's head.
Jesus ! Jesus!
By that death so calm and holy,
Soothe me in that hour of dread.
Mary! thou canst not forsake me,
Virgin mother undefiled!
Thou didst not abandon Jesus,
Dying, tortured, and reviled.
Jesus ! Jesus !
Send Thy Mother to console me;
Mary! help thy guilty child.
