  1. O Sacred Heart, our home lies deep in Thee; on earth Thou art an exile’s rest, in heav’n the glory of the blest, O Sacred Heart.
  2. O Sacred Heart, Thou fount of contrite tears; where’er those living waters flow, new life to sinners they bestow, O Sacred Heart.
  3. Sacred Heart, our trust is all in Thee, For though earth’s night be dark and drear, Thou breathest rest where Thou art near, O Sacred Heart.
  4. Sacred Heart, when shades of death shall fall, receive us ‘neath Thy gentle care, and save us from the tempter’s snare, O Sacred Heart.
  5. Sacred Heart, lead exiled children home, where we may ever
    rest near Thee, in peace and joy eternally, O Sacred Heart.
