To Honor the Contempt and the Rebuffs which Mary and Joseph Encountered at Bethlehem.
Pray give us lodging dear
Sir in the name of heaven
All day since morning to
Travel we’ve given
Mary my wife is ex-
pecting a child
She must have shelter tonight
Let us in, let us in
You cannot stop here I
Won’t make my house an inn
I do not trust you your
Story is thin
You two might rob me and
Then run away
Find somewhere else you can stay
Go away, go away
Please show us pity your
Heart cannot be so hard
Look at poor Mary so
Worn and so tired
We are most poor but I’ll
Pay what i can
God will reward you good man
Let us in, let us in
You try my patience I’m
Tired and must get some rest
I’ve told you nicely but
Still you insist
If you don’t go and stop
Bothering me
I’ll fix you, I guarantee
Go away, go away
Sir I must tell you my
Wife is the Queen of heaven
Chosen by God to de-
liver His son
Jesus is coming to
Earth on this eve
Oh, heaven make him be-
lieve, let us
In, let us in
Joseph, dear Joseph, oh
How could I be so blind
Not to know you and the
Virgin so fine
Enter blessed pilgrims my
House is your own
Praise be to God on His throne
Please come in, please come in
Enter, enter holy
Pilgrims, holy pilgrims, welcome
To my humble home
Though ‘tis
Little I can
Offer all I
Have please call your own
Enter, enter, holy pilgrims
holy pilgrims, welcome
To my humble home, though ‘tis
Little I can offer I can offer all I
Have please call your own
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.
History of `To Jesus Heart All Burning` (Click-Expand or Bypass)

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.

Come, Holy Ghost, Creator come
From Thy bright heav’nly throne,
Come, take possession of our souls,
And make them all Thy own.
Thou Who art called the Paraclete,
Best gift of God above,
The living spring, the living fire,
Sweet unction and true love.
2. Thou who are sev’nfold in Thy grace,
Finger of God’s right hand;
His promise teaching little ones
To speak and understand.
O, guide our minds with Thy bless’d light
With love our hearts inflame;
And with Thy strength, which ne’er decays,
Confirm our mortal frame.
3. Through Thee may we the Father know,
Thro’ Thee th’Eternal Son,
And Thee, the Spirit of the both,
Thrice blessed Three in One.
All Glory to the Father be,
With His coequal Son;
The same to Thee, great Paraclete,
While endless ages run.
…whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do…–John 14:13
Lord, all hearts are in Thy hands: Thou canst bend as Thou wilt the most stubborn, and soften the most obdurate. Do that honor this day to
the precious blood,
the merits,
the sacred wounds,
the holy name, and
the loving Heart
of Thy beloved Son, of granting the conversion of N.N. (or of bestowing such a grace, etc.).
O Virgin, guest most gracious,
the couple’s last recourse,
unless thy help’s solicited,
they languish in remorse;
Thou bidst us do whatever He says,
His Word’s command Divine,
The type of His great gift of Self,
The water into wine.
And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there. – John 2:1
And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. – John 2:2
And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine. – John 2:3
And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come. – John 2:4
His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye. – John 2:5
Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece. – John 2:6
Jesus saith to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. – John 2:7
And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it. – John 2:8
And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had drawn the water; the chief steward calleth the bridegroom,… – John 2:9
And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee; and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him. – John 2:10-11

See us Thy children gathered round Thee now.
We long to haste the coming of Thy Kingdom,
The day when all to Thy sweet_ yoke will bow. Chorus
Tarcisians of the Sacred Heart are boys and girls from kindergarten up, who endeavor to bring the Sacred Heart into their own homes and the homes of others through their great love for the Sacred Heart. The means they use are “Golden Pennies” (prayers, sacrifices and Eucharistic devotions). This crusade was started by Father Mateo to help spread the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart in the home.
The name “Tarcisian” comes from St. Tarcisius, the boy-martyr, who was killed in the early centuries of the Church, while carrying the Blessed Sacrament to Christians condemned to death by the pagans. St. Tarcisius is a model and patron for all boys and girls who love the Blessed Sacrament and who, like him, try to bring Jesus to souls.
A Tarcisian Club may be started in your own home. Once your children become Tarcisians, you will be amazed at the transformation the Sacred Heart will effect in their souls. Information in the original text which is no longer relevant: Send for explanatory leaflet and copy of the Tarcisian newspaper, THE KING’S REIGN. Write to: Tarcisian Club, 4930 S.

The podcast above contains an extract from a talk about the pro-life implications of Fr. Robert Spitzer’s teaching on the Four Levels of Happiness . The Fourth Level, extracted here, is involved with the broader topic of the Apostolate of Suffering in relation to the Holy Souls in Purgatory. There seems to be some relation to an outline from St. Thomas, on the balance between vices and virtues, as follows: “The vices of those who fall can be categorized as involving pleasure, possessions, prestige and power.”
It may be that the virtue which is the opposite of vice of seeking after power, the fourth of those falls, is involved with the the accumulation of merit through suffering, especially with our petitioning our Blessed Lord to accept our sufferings for inclusion with His infinitely meritorious sufferings. (cf. “I Paul … now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church…” Colossians 1:23-24) For our sufferings to be made use of by our Blessed Lord, requires as a first step, our giving up the pursuit of power.
Our Blessed Lord had told St. Peter, in John 21:18, that “Amen, amen I say to thee, when thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself, and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldst not.” That historical event, the Lord’s speaking so to St. Peter, has been interpreted as regarding how St. Peter would die crucified upside-down; it relates directly to the topic of the audio extract above.
