PRAYERS TO JESUS



SACRED HEART

O JESUS dear, Thy Sacred Heart
Is fraught with purest love.
Much joy to me Thou dost impart,
And comfort from above.

O Sacred Heart, celestial feast
Of all the blessed above,
I hope in bliss Thy sweets to taste,
And glow with heavenly love.

Thy Sacred Heart was pierced for me,
And bled at every pore,
From past offenses set me free,
Oh! them I will deplore.

O Sacred Heart, celestial feast
Of all the blessed above,
I hope in bliss Thy sweets to taste,
And glow with heavenly love.


SWEET HEART OF JESUS

SWEET Heart of Jesus, source of love and mercy,
We beg of Thee, O Fount of living grace,
Oh! list to souls who humbly now implore Thee,
And make them Thine fore'ver, ever more.

Sweet Heart of Jesus, so humble and so mild,
Sweet Heart of Jesus, oh, make our hearts all Thine.

Would that our hearts, responding to Thy longings,
Were pure and simple, seeking none but Thee,
E'er self-forgetting, patient, meek and humble,
And loving Thee with pure seraphic love.

Sweet Heart of Jesus, so humble and so mild,
Sweet Heart of Jesus, oh, make our hearts all Thine.


JESUS, JESUS, DEAREST LORD

O JESUS, Jesus, dearest Lord,
Forgive me if I say,
For very love, Thy sacred Name,
A thousand times a day.
 I love Thee so, I know not how
My transports to control;
Thy love is like a burning fire,
Within my very soul.

O wonderful! that Thou shouldst let
So vile a heart as mine,
Love Thee with such a love as this,
And make so free with Thine.
The craft of this wide world of ours
Poor wisdom seems to me;
Ah! dearest Jesus, I have grown
Childish with love of Thee.


JESUS, SWEET JESUS

JESUS, sweet Jesus, my treasure divine,
Oh! with what rapture I call Thee all mine;
Brilliant, celestial, my glory, my sun,
Oh, that I loved Thee, Thou beautiful One!

Fountain of sweetness, abyss of delight,
Robed in Thy splendor, immortal and bright,
Thou God of my heart, oh! when shall I flee
Away from my prison, to love only Thee?

Jesus, my Jesus, so priceless in worth,
Joy of ,the Angels and hope of the earth!
Strong are the links and the bonds which confine
My heart and my soul to Thee, Jesus, all mine.
