O sacred heart,
O love so rare,
With radiant light dispel the darkening clouds of fear and care.
Speak to us thy universal language of love and of prayer.
Melt into tears the icy heart.
Bring forth forgiveness from the silent lips.
Join reaching hands.
May we seek to learn from Thee the truth that the Master sets us free.
His presence brings a harmony sublime.
So let us sing,
Ever answering,
Thy clear call divine.
O holy joy,
O power supreme,
Inspire our hopes,
Illumine our desires,
Restore our faith.
May we recognize in Thee the blessings of eternity,
The power that sustains and makes us whole.
Now let us praise His presence and His grace that can save our soul.
O sacred heart,
O love divine,
Our thanks to Thee.
