2. Too true I have forsaken Thy love by wilful sin; Yet now let me be taken Back by Thy grace again.
3. As Thou art meek and lowly, And ever pure of heart, So may my heart be wholly Of Thine the counterpart,
4. O that to me were given The pinions of a dove, I'd speed aloft to heaven, My Jesus' love to prove.
5. When life away is flying, And earth's false glare is done; Still, Sacred heart, in dying I'll say I'm all Thine own.
Processional Bishop Casartelli Ch. Gounod Arr. by N. A. M.
1. Heart of Jesus! golden chalice Brimming with the ruddy Wine, Trodden in the press of fury, Purest juice of truest vine, From the Vineyards of Engeddi, Quench this thirsty heart of mine.
2. Heart of Jesus! Comb of honey From the cleft of Calvary's rock, Sweetness coming from the Strong One, Dripping from the green-wood stock; Famishing of death is on us: Feed, oh, feed Thy hungry flock!
3. Heart of Jesus! Rose of Sharon Glist'ning with the dew of tears, All among the thorny prickles Lo! Thy blood-stained Head appears! Spread Thy fragrance all around us, Sweetly lulling all our fears!
4. Heart of Jesus! broken Vial Full of precious spikenard! Alabaster vase of ointment! See, our souls are sore and hard: Let Thy healing virtue touch them, And from sin's corruption guards!
To Christ, the Prince of Peace Summi Panentis filio
Processional Tr. Rev. E. Caswall Nicola A. Montani
1. To Christ, the Prince of Peace, And Son of God most high, The Father of the world to come, Sing we with holy joy. Deep in His heart for us The wound of love He bore; That love, wherewith He still inflames The hearts that Him adore.
2. O Jesus! Victim blest! What else but love divine, Could Thee constrain to open thus That Sacred Heat of Thine? O Fount of endless life! O Spring of water clear! O Flame celestial cleansing all Who unto Thee draws near.
3. Hide me in Thy dear Heart, For thither do I fly; There seek Thy grace thro' life, In death Thine immortality. Praise to the Father be, And sole begotten Son, Praise, Holy Paraclete, to Thee While endless ages run.
O Heart of Jesus, purest Heart (Cor Jesu, Cor purissimum)
Translated by Father M. Russell, S. J. Traditional Melody
1. O Heart of Jesus, purest Heart, A Shrine of holiness Thou art; Cleanse Thou, my heart, so sordid cold, And stained by sins so manifold.
