81. O Heart of Mary

1 O, Heart of Mary, pure and fair,
There is no stain in thee:
In Adam's fall thou hast no share,
From sin's control thou'rt free,
In Adam's fall thou hast no share,
From sin's control thou'rt free.

Chorus:
O Heart of Mary, pure and fair,
No beauty can with thine compare,
From ev'ry stain of sin thou'rt free:
Oh! make us pure in heart like thee.

2 As some fair lily 'midst the thorns,
Thou 'mongst Eve's daughters art;
Celestial purity adorns
Thy crystal depths, chaste Heart!
Celestial purity adorns
Thy crystal depths, chaste Heart. [Chorus]

3 Sweet Heart! within thy depths so chaste,
We'll dwell and ne'er depart,
Till thou our souls hast deeply placed
In Jesus' Sacred Heart,
Till thou our souls hast deeply placed
In Jesus' Sacred Heart. [Chorus]
