154. To Christ, the Prince of Peace

1 To Christ, the Prince of Peace,
And Son of God most high,
The Father of the world to come,
We lift our joyful cry.

2 Deep in His heart, for us,
The wound of love He bore,
That love which still He kindles in
The hearts that Him adore.

3 O Jesus, Victim blest!
What else but love divine
Could Thee constrain to open thus
That Sacred Heart of Thine?

4 O Fount of endless life,
O Spring of water clear!
O Flame celestial, cleansing all
Who unto Thee draw near!

5 Hide me in Thy dear Heart,
For thither do I fly;
There seek Thy grace through life, in death
Thine immortality.
