They say he sometimes had a wicked temper, but there can be no doubt that Georg Friedrich Handel had a humorous and a tender side.

| 1. Oh! come and mourn with me awhile; See, Mary calls us to her side; Oh! come and let us mourn with her; Jesus, our Love, is crucified! |
2. Have we no tears to shed for Him, While soldiers scoff and Jews deride? Ah, look how patiently He hangs: Jesus, our Love, is crucified! |
| 3. Sev’n times He spoke, sev’n words of love, And all three hours His silence cried For mercy on the souls of men: Jesus our Love, is crucified! |
4 Come, take thy stand beneath the Cross, And let the Blood from out that Side Fall gently on thee drop by drop; Jesus our Love, is crucified! Amen. |
Also on Good Friday, Thy Life, O Lord, Is Ebbing Fast.

| 1. To Jesus’ Heart, all burning With fervent love for men, My heart with fondest yearning Shall raise its joyful strain. |
REFRAIN While ages course along, Blest be with loudest song The Sacred Heart of Jesus By ev’ry heart and tongue! The Sacred Heart of Jesus By ev’ry heart and tongue! |
2. O Heart for me on fire With love no man can speak; My yet untold desire God gives me for Thy sake. REFRAIN |
| 3. Too true I have forsaken Thy love by willful sin; Yet now let me be taken Back to Thy fold again. REFRAIN |
4. As Thou art meek and lowly, And ever pure of heart, So may my heart be wholly Of Thine the counterpart, REFRAIN |
5. O that to me were given The pinions of a dove, I’d speed aloft to heaven, My Jesus’ love to prove. REFRAIN |
| 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. REFRAIN |
Amen. |

The hymn “To Jesus’ Heart All Burning” was quite well known during World War II due to its inclusion in the “Song and Service Book for Ship and Field Army and Navy” as well as the parallel Chapel edition “The Hymnal Army and Navy” (1942).
Numerous millions were included in the duffel bags of sailors and soldiers.
The little, rugged and handsomely bound ship and field book contains the Stations of the Cross, used on this site, able to be used within an appropriately equipped chapel or indeed anywhere.
“To Jesus’ Heart All Burning” appears consciously to be a composition of the College Fight Song genre, though it would have been performed by servicemen themselves in a more reverential form.
With lack of privacy, and lack of the normal segregation between religious congregations the folks at home had always experienced— to get a sense of the times, in the 1921 Army-Navy Hymnal, while there were “Catholic” and “Jewish” sections, the Protestant section of the hymnal was listed as “Patriotic”, perhaps implying that the other, minority confessions were other than patriotic—servicemen deployed far throughout the world, in practice shared each others’ religious services. Thus, millions of non-Catholics received exposure to the message of the Sacred Heart which they would otherwise not have received.

|---|---|
| 1. O turn to Jesus, Mother! turn, And call Him by His tenderest names; Pray for the Holy Souls that burn This hour amid the cleansing flames. |
2. Ah! they have fought a gallant fight; In death’s cold arms they persevered; And after life’s uncheery night The harbour of their rest is neared. |
| 3. In pains beyond all earthly pains, Favourites of Jesus! there they lie, Letting the fire wear out their stains, And worshipping God’s purity. |
4. Spouses of Christ they are, for He Was wedded to them by His blood; And angels o’er their destiny In wondering adoration brood. |
| 5. They are the children of thy tears; Then hasten, Mother! to their aid; In pity think each hour appears An age while glory is delayed. |
6. See, how they bound amid their fires, While pain and love their spirits fill; Then with self-crucified desires Utter sweet murmurs, and lie still. |
| 7. Ah me! the love of Jesus yearns O’er that abyss of sacred pain, And as He looks His Bosom burns With Calvary’s dear thirst again. |
8. O Mary! let thy Son no more His lingering Spouses thus expect; God’s children to their God restore, And to the Spirit His elect. |
| 9. Pray then, as thou hast ever prayed; Angels and Souls, all look to thee; God waits thy prayers, for He hath made Those prayers His law of charity. |
Amen. |
