Christians, who of Jesus' sorrows

Chorus: Lo! for your own sins devoted, Bleeds the Victim from on high, By His suff'rings animated, For Him live and for Him die. 2 See! now Jesus is forsaken; Round Him press a ruthless band; See!

Chorus: O Sacred Heart, how sweet 'twould be, If we could die for love of Thee; O Sacred Heart, how sweet 'twould be, If we could die for love of Thee, of Thee, of Thee! 2 Love is not love! O angels, weep, Ye virgins chaste, breathe bitter sighs; O Earth be clothed in mourning deep; Withdraw your light, ye radiant skies! For all our souls' dear spouse hath died, For all His heart with love doth burn; Yet this meek Saviour men deride, And for His love make no return. [Chorus] 3 That heart for us could do no more, In anguish deep it sighed and bled; A cruel spear pierc'd thro' its core, For us His last life's blood was shed. That spear, O Jesus! pierc'd Thy Heart, That we within its depths might flee; Oh, wound our own with love's sweet dart, Let us expire for love of Thee! [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Close veiled in that sweet Sacrament]

Evening hymn to the Sacred Heart

Author: S. N. D. Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Night folds her starry curtains round Refrain First Line: Not man, nor angel can portray Lyrics: 1 Night folds her starry curtains round, As day hath faded on the hills, And thro' the silence so profound, Calm peace a fragment balm distils. A soothing voice like incense falls, All cares, all sorrows to beguile; Our Lord in love and pity calls, Come to my heart and rest awhile. Not man, nor angel can portray, O dearest Lord, how sweet Thou art, To call us from our cares away, To rest within Thy sacred heart! 2 To serve Thee, Jesus, is to reign; Thy blessed bondage makes us free; We count it as our highest gain, Forsaking all to follow thee. Thrice happy are the hours and bright We spend beneath Thy control; Thy yoke is sweet, Thy burden light, Thy love the sunshine of the soul. Not man, nor angel can portray, O dearest Lord, how sweet Thou art, To call us from our cares away, To rest within Thy sacred heart! 3 O dearest Lord, our steps restrain, That from Thy grace we ne'er depart; And closer draw the triple chain, That binds us to Thy Sacred Heart. Then shall our wond'ring transports know The blessings to Thy spouses given, The hundred fold on earth below, Above, the endless joys of heaven.
