Feast of the Sacred Heart

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.



Thine for ever! God of love,
Hear us from thy throne above;
Thine for ever may we be
Here and in eternity.

Thine for ever! O, how blest
They who find in thee their rest!
Saviour, Guardian, heavenly Friend,
O defend us to the end.

Thine for ever! Lord of life,
Shield us through our earthly strife;
Thou the Life, the Truth, the Way,
Guide us to the realms of day.

Thine for ever! Shepherd, keep
These thy frail and trembling sheep;
Safe alone beneath thy care,
Let us all thy goodness share.

Thine for evere! thou our Guide,
All our wants by thee supplied,
All our sins by thee forgiven,
Let by thee from earth to heaven.

Happy Feast!
