 * O Sacred Heart!
 * Thou fount of contrite tears,

Where’er those living waters ﬂow, New life to sinners they bestow,
 * O Sacred Heart.


 * O Sacred Heart!
 * Bless our dear Fatherland,

May Erin’s sons to truth e’er stand, With Faith’s bright banner still in hand,
 * O Sacred Heart.


 * O Sacred Heart!
 * Watch o'er our Sister Isle,

Till Faith, ere long, return once more, And find a home on England’s shore,
 * O Sacred Heart.


 * O Sacred Heart!
 * Our trust is all in thee;

For though earth’s night be dark and drear, Thou breathest rest, when Thou art near,
 * O Sacred Heart.


 * O 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.


 * O Sacred Heart!
 * Lead exiled children home,

Where we may ever rest near Thee, In peace and joy eternally,
 * O Sacred Heart.
