| 1. Jesu, grant me this, I pray, ever in Thy heart to stay; let me evermore abide hidden in Thy wounded side. |
2. If the world or Satan lay tempting snares about my way, I am safe when I abide in Thy heart and wounded side. |
| 3. If the flesh, more dangerous still, tempt my soul to deeds of ill, naught I fear when I abide in Thy heart and wounded side. |
4. Death will come one day to me; Jesu, cast me not from Thee: dying let me still abide in Thy heart and wounded side. Amen. |

| 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. |

| My holy God! my very soul, With grief sincere is moved, Because I have offended Thee, Whom I should e’er have loved. Forgive me, Father! I am now, Resolved to sin no more, And by Thy holy grace to shun, What made me sin before. |

4) Thy Body, Soul, and Godhead, all! O mystery of love divine! I cannot compass all I have, For all Thou hast and art are mine! Sweet Sacrament! we Thee adore! O, make us love Thee more and more! O, make us love Thee more and more! |

Amen. |

| Latin text | An English translation |
|---|---|
| 1. Sacris solemniis iuncta sint gaudia, et ex praecordiis sonent praeconia; recedant vetera, nova sint omnia, corda, voces, et opera. |
1. At this our solemn feast let holy joys abound, and from the inmost breast let songs of praise resound; let ancient rites depart, and all be new around, in every act, and voice, and heart. |
| 2. Noctis recolitur cena novissima, qua Christus creditur agnum et azyma dedisse fratribus, iuxta legitima priscis indulta patribus. |
2. Remember we that eve, when, the Last Supper spread, Christ, as we all believe, the Lamb, with leavenless bread, among His brethren shared, and thus the Law obeyed, of all unto their sire declared. |
| 3. Post agnum typicum, expletis epulis, Corpus Dominicum datum discipulis, sic totum omnibus, quod totum singulis, eius fatemur manibus. |
3. The typic Lamb consumed, the legal Feast complete, the Lord unto the Twelve His Body gave to eat; the whole to all, no less the whole to each did mete with His own hands, as we confess. |
| 4. Dedit fragilibus corporis ferculum, dedit et tristibus sanguinis poculum, dicens: Accipite quod trado vasculum; omnes ex eo bibite. |
4. He gave them, weak and frail, His Flesh, their Food to be; on them, downcast and sad, His Blood bestowed He: and thus to them He spake, “Receive this Cup from Me, and all of you of this partake.” |
| 5. Sic sacrificium istud instituit, cuius officium committi voluit solis presbyteris, quibus sic congruit, ut sumant, et dent ceteris. |
5. So He this Sacrifice to institute did will, and charged His priests alone that office to fulfill: to them He did confide: to whom it pertains still to take, and the rest divide. |
| 6. Panis angelicus fit panis hominum; dat panis caelicus figuris terminum; O res mirabilis: manducat Dominum pauper, servus et humilis. |
6. Thus Angels’ Bread is made the Bread of man today: the Living Bread from heaven with figures dost away: O miraculous gift indeed! the poor and lowly may upon their Lord and Master feed. |
| 7. Te, trina Deitas unaque, poscimus: sic nos tu visita, sicut te colimus; per tuas semitas duc nos quo tendimus, ad lucem quam inhabitas. Amen. |
7. Thee, therefore, we implore, O Godhead, One in Three, so may Thou visit us as we now worship Thee; and lead us on Thy way, That we at last may see the light wherein Thou dwellest aye. Amen. |

2. When the last dread hour approaching Fills my guilty soul with fear; All my sins rise up before me, All my virtues disappear. Jesus! Jesus! Turn not Thou in anger from me, Mary, Joseph, then be near. |
| 3. Mary, thou canst not forsake me, Virgin mother undefiled; Thou didst not abandon Jesus Dying, tortured and reviled. Jesus! Jesus! Send Thy Mother to console me: Mary, help Thy guilty child! |
4. Jesus, when the cruel anguish Dying on the shameful tree, All abandoned by Thy Father, Thou didst writhe in agony. Jesus! Jesus! By these three long hours of sorrow Thou didst purchase hope for me. |
| 5. Then, by all that Thou didst suffer, Grant me mercy in that day; Help me, Mary, my sweet Mother, Holy Joseph, near me stay. Jesus! Jesus! Let me die, my lips repeating, Jesus, mercy! Mary, pray! |
Amen. |

| 1 Sweet Sacrament divine, hid in Thine earthly home, lo, round Thy lowly shrine, with suppliant hearts we come; Jesus, to Thee our voice we raise in songs of love and heartfelt praise: sweet Sacrament divine, sweet Sacrament divine. |
2 Sweet Sacrament of peace, dear home for every heart, where restless yearnings cease and sorrows all depart; there in Thine ear all trustfully we tell our tale of misery: sweet Sacrament of peace, sweet Sacrament of peace. |
| 3 Sweet Sacrament of rest, ark from the ocean’s roar, within Thy shelter blest soon may we reach the shore; save us, for still the tempest raves, save, lest we sink beneath the waves: sweet Sacrament of rest, sweet Sacrament of rest. |
4 Sweet Sacrament divine, earth’s light and jubilee, in Thy far depths doth shine Thy Godhead’s majesty; sweet light, so shine on us, we pray, that earthly joys may fade away: sweet Sacrament divine, sweet Sacrament divine. |
