Oh, the priceless love of Jesus!

Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, the priceless love of Jesus! Oh, the strength of grace divine! All His gifts are shower'd upon me, All His blessings may be mine; He is thron'd in heav'nly glory, Where no sin nor death can be; Yet He loves me in this darkness, Yet He does not turn from me. 2 I am blind, and poor, and wretched, By temptations sorely tried; Yet, His watchful care abounding, Keeps me ever at His side; He is God and King Eternal, Higher than all height can be; Yet His Heart is with me always, Yet He stoopeth down to me. 3 Storms of sorrow roll around me, Darkling clouds above me meet; But I hasten to my refuge At my Saviour's wounded Feet. O how lovingly, my Jesus, Thou dost with me ever bear; I can never, never, thank Thee For Thy goodness and Thy care. 4 When the brooding darkness hides me Bitter tears of pain I weep; But, Thou loving One, Thou healest All my sorrow dark and deep. Oh, Thy priceless love, my Jesus! Human love and love divine; Thou art gentle, Thou art mighty; All Thy Sacred Heart is mine. Used With Tune: [Oh, the priceless love of Jesus!]

Guide thou our hearts through sin's dark tide; Angelic youth! blest Aloysius; thro' sin's dark tide, Guide our hearts thro' sin's dark tide. 2 O thou who a crown cast away, To be with Christ despised and poor, Teach me to walk thy pure and humble way, Happy still, tho' but small our store. Sweet flow'r of love, that sought to bloom unknown, A saint 'mid gaudy pomp and worldly pride. [Chorus] 3 May tho't, word, and deed be from sin As far as thine, as chastely free, That we from Mary's tender heart may win All the love that it gave to thee, Sweet flow'r of love, that sought to boom unknown, A saint 'mid gaudy pomp and worldly pride. [Chorus] 4 Thy warfare is past and away, Recede the clouds that dark'n earth's skies; For thee has down'd the happy, happy day. The bright heavens' glad surprise. Sweet flow'r of love, that sought to bloom unknown, A saint 'mid gaudy pomp and worldly pride. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [O thou on whose bright natal day]

St. Catherine's Ballad

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Saint Catherine, she was a maiden mild Lyrics: 1 St. Catherine, she was a maiden mild, St. Catherine, she was a maiden pure; And after her prayers she loved her books, That show us to heaven the pathway sure. O St. Catherine, meek! O St. Catherine, pure! 2 The wisest doctors of Egypt came To prove that the Catholic faith was wrong, They reasoned for hours, and bro't out their books, For they all were mighty in wits and tongue. O St. Catherine, meek! O St. Catherine, pure! 3 Saint Catherine stood before them all, So humble--she trusted in Heaven alone; She proved that the Catholic faith was right, Till there they sat, as dumb as a stone. 4 Now what did the king and his courtiers do, When none of them all could answer a word? They said she no longer was fit to live, And cut off her innocent head with a sword. 5 But, far away to the holy mount, Bright angels in triumph St. Catherine bore; And now in the courts above she reigns With Christ and His Mother for evermore. 6 O dear Saint Catherine! pray for us now; Help us to keep our Faith's true light; For we are in struggle with danger and sin, And you are in Heaven where all is bright. Used With Tune: [St. Catherine, she was a maiden mild]
