Jesus' Heart All Burning

(COR AMORIS )

Rev. A. J. Christe, S. J.

Traditional Air

1. To Jesus' Heart all burning With fervent love for men,
   My heart, with fondest yearning, Shall raise its joyful strain.
   ⁠While ages course along, Blest be with loudest song,
   ⁠The Sacred Heart of Jesus, By every heart and tongue;
   ⁠The Sacred Heart of Jesus, By every heart and tongue.
   
2. O Heart, for me on fire With love no tongue can speak,
   My yet untold desire God gives me for thy sake.
   ⁠While ages course along, &c.
   
3. Too true, I have forsaken Thy love by willful sin;
   Yet now let me be taken Back by thy grace again.
   ⁠While ages course along, &c.
   
4. As thou art meek and lowly, And ever pure of Heart,
   So may my heart be wholly Of thine the counterpart.
   ⁠While ages course along, &c.
   
5. Oh! that to me were given The pinions of a dove,
   I'd speed aloft to heaven, My Jesus' love to prove.
   ⁠While ages course along, &c.
   
6. When life away is flying, And earth's false glare is done;
   Still Sacred Heart, in dying I'll say I'm all thine own.
   ⁠While ages course along, &c.
